I am also part of the working group funded from the last ASM: “Beyond the numbers: Supporting and increasing diverse LTER community.” by Nidzgorski, D et al. </div><div><br></div><div> We are organizing a follow up session this coming ASM and part of it will be to share our results from the last ASM. From those results we have some suggestions to improve recruitment and retention of diverse students in LTERs - one of those suggestions is to build stronger student communities within individual LTERS so that incoming students from diverse backgrounds can join this strong student community. </div><div><br></div><div> We think of it as tiered mentoring, and we would like to invite you and your LTER Grad Reps to attend the session and share any success mentoring stories, challenges, and ideas on how Grad Reps can be part of this solution. All PIs will be invited as well, but we need student leaders to be part of it as well. </div><div><br></div><div> I am connecting you to Clarisse Hart, Outreach & Development Manager for Education & Research Programs at Harvard Forest LTER. She is leading the workshop and I promised her I would connect her with you. </div><div><br></div><div> Hope your weeks are going well!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr">Jorge<br><br>--<br>Jorge Ramos<br>Arizona State University<br><a href="http://www.public.asu.edu/~jramos10" target="_blank">Jorge's Website</a><br><a href="http://weel.asu.edu/WEEL/Home.html" target="_blank">Wetland Ecosystem Ecology Lab</a><br><br></div></div></div>
