Attendees of thisworkshop will discuss the development of a program within the American Geophysical Union (AGU) to strengthen the role of two-year college Earth and space science students in the future workforce. Support to attend the meeting will be provided for approximately 30 two-year college Earth and space science faculty who are currently engaged in research with their students, or who have a strong interest in developing a research program. Also encouraged to apply are four-year college faculty who are currently partnering on research programs with two-year college faculty. A variety of expert speakers and panelists from two- and four-year schools, professional societies, and federal organizations will help frame and build discussion on best practices in and barriers to building and maintaining such research programs.
