AGU has a vigorous Committee on Education and Human Resources (CEHR). Jill Karsten, the AGU staff person assigned to CEHR and who now serves as principal contact for our section, has worked with CEHR to substantially increase the education component at fall and spring meetings. VGP would like to expand the role of our committee both in the realm of education and in outreach. Joop
