A Virtual Workshop Series: Elements of a GEO REU
The GEO REU PI Network is a supportive community of managers of GEO REU internship programs. We recognize the effort and dedication that goes into running an REU, and we want to help by providing a series of workshops. These workshops were designed for new REU PIs or managers, but all GEO REU managers and staff are welcome. The schedule for Spring 2022 is below.
In addition, we encourage GEO internship leads and staff to join the GEO REU Email Listserv here.
Hoping to join the GEO REU Community Drop-In Chat? Join the GEO REU Email Listserv for details.
