The AGU Education Section provides a home and voice for educators, students, and education researchers in the Earth and space sciences (ESS). Our Section relies on the donations of members and others in the ESS community to provide programing, travel grants, and events for our members and others in our community.
In 2023, we were grateful that two generous donors stepped forward which greatly increased the financial support for our section. The match unlocked $5,000 to further expand the Education Section’s work supporting professional development and conference-related expenses of Earth and space science educators and students.
