Reaching Out

SESE is training the next generation of explorers and citizen scientists. Not only do we engage the minds of our students, but through a variety of informal science education and outreach activities we are also educating the public. We reach out to the community in a number of ways throughout the year; be sure to look at our Events Calendar so you don't miss out.

Save the date:

Homecoming, November 15: Look for the SESE tent at the CLAS Block Party on the lawn near Old Main or our table at the Fulton Engineering School Block Party on the Alumni Lawn. Join us for a variety of hands-on activities!

American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference, December 15-19: The largest conference of its kind, a number of SESE members will be presenting and taking part in conference activities.

Join us for a multifaceted set of events, contests, lectures, artistic performances, educational workshops, tea parties, and even a look-alike contest.
