EAS Student Professional Development Fund

Support travel and professional experiences for CMU Geology, Environmental Science, and Meteorology majors! 

Undergraduate students who prepare and present their research at regional and national meetings are much more likely to make the professional connections that lead them to graduate studies and employment in their discipline after they finish their degree. For students who receive these opportunities, it can be a transformational experience that hones their communication and presentation skills and allows them to interact with scientists and professionals in ways that a classroom setting on campus can’t replicate. However, the cost of attending such a meeting can be a substantial barrier to many students, limiting their exposure to professional societies and networking opportunities. 

Help EAS to support student professional development by donating to our Geology, Meteorology, and Environmental Science professional developments funds. Your support will allow us to provide funds to offset the cost of student travel to present research at professional meetings, broadening access and participation in these opportunities. 

Join us in contributing to our students’ professional development by donating now!
