Great Lakes Earth Exchange (GLEE Club) Speaker Nomination Form
This form is designed for faculty to nominate and vouch for graduate students as potential speakers for the Great Lakes Earth Exchange (GLEE Club) program. The GLEE Club is a new, invited speaker series at Eastern Michigan University, supported by NSF project #2432698. The purpose of the GLEE Club is to enhance awareness of Earth Science on EMU's campus and to foster scientific, experiential, and career knowledge exchanges between your department’s graduate students and our undergraduate students. 

Invited student speakers will deliver a 25–35-minute research talk, accessible to a broad audience, including undergraduate students with limited Geosciences background, and the broader EMU and Ypsilanti communities. Speakers will also share their research and grad school experiences with EMU undergraduate students over lunch. Each invited student will receive a $300 honorarium and reimbursement for mileage; funds are available to cover airfare and a one-night hotel stay for one speaker each year from universities farther than ~5 hours drive time from EMU. 

Nominated students should match the following criteria:
  1. Be conducting Great Lakes Earth Science research
  2. Be enrolled in a Research graduate program at a College/University in the Great Lakes region
  3. Be in the final semester of a MS thesis program, final year of a PhD dissertation program, or be within 1 year of graduation for recent graduates from either program
  4. Be capable of communicating their research to an audience of undergraduate students
  5. Be capable of highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of Earth Science with other STEM and non-STEM fields
Submitting a nomination does not guarantee an invitation for the nominated student for the GLEE Club. All nominations will be reviewed by EMU Earth Science Faculty with input from the EMU GeoClub. Selected speakers will be contacted directly using the contact information you provide. Selection will occur in late August and early September.
