Ross,

 My name is Jorge Ramos and I am a PhD candidate at the ASU CAP LTER. 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Hope your weeks are going well!

Jorge
