Hi LTER students,

I hope the summer is going well. This is a friendly reminder that today is
the deadline to submit your nominations for serving as the graduate student
co-chair for the LTER network.

  If you are interested in serving as graduate student co-chair, please
send me a less than a page write up that includes:

1) description of yourself (your university, LTER site, research interests,
etc),
2) why you are interested in being co-chair,
3) previous experiences as a student leader


Best wishes!
Ross
