<p class="MsoNormal">Dear LTER peeps,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need your help finding the people at your LTER site who lead undergraduate courses and research experiences for a survey we will be sending out this week for the
<a href="http://ufern.net/">UFERN</a> project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white">As part of an NSF-funded Research Coordination Networks grant, we are surveying directors, coordinators, and instructors of undergraduate field programs to characterize field experiences for undergraduates
across the U.S. This includes extended field courses, geology field camps, research experiences, and other kinds of structured field programs for undergraduates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white">In discussion with Marty, we decided not to send this survey out to the entire LTER listserve, but rather to ask you to give us the email addresses (or at least names) of folks at your site who
lead extended field courses, geology field camps, research experiences, and other kinds of structured field programs for undergraduates. That way we can send the survey directly to them and provide 2 reminders directly to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would so appreciate getting the names/email addresses by the end of the week.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks! And let me know if you have questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
