Hi all, We need your help at AGU this Fall! Please consider serving as a meeting mentor for a student participating in
Phase I of the 2005-2006 MS PHD'S (Minorities Striving and Pursuing Higher
Degrees of Success in Earth System Science) Professional Development Program
during the 2005 Fall AGU meeting.

As a science meeting mentor, you will interact with an undergraduate or
graduate student interested in pursuing an earth/ocean science-related
career. If you agree to serve as a meeting mentor you will be asked to:
* Communicate with one student before the 2005 Fall AGU meeting (an
opportunity to introduce yourselves, discover common academic interests,
etc.) if possible
* Participate in a 30 minute orientation on Monday, Dec. 5th from
12:30PM-1:00PM in the Moscone Center Room 3010 (lunch will be provided) and
meet with your mentee immediately following the orientation
* Discuss a minimum of four presentations with your assigned mentee during
the 2005 Fall AGU meeting
* Facilitate networking (introduce your mentee to other scientists with
similar interests) during and after the 2005 Fall AGU meeting
* Offer academic and career advice during and after the 2005 Fall AGU
meeting

You can learn more about the MS PHD'S Professional Development Program at
http://www.msphds.usf.edu/ProgramInformation.html

If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please complete the brief
on-line survey found at http://www.msphds.usf.edu/survey/mentor_survey.php
as soon as possible.

If you have previously served as a mentor in the MS PHD'S Professional
Development Program you do not need to complete a new survey.  However, you
will need to send an email to msphds@marine.usf.edu indicating your
willingness to serve as a mentor during the 2005 Fall AGU Meeting.

Thanks in advance for considering participating in this worthwhile endeavor!
