GEM Student Tutorials - Last Call for Student Volunteers!
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Lois Sarno-Smith (loisks at umich.edu)

Hello GEM students! We are now requesting tutorial speakers for the 2016 GEM-CEDAR meeting in Santa Fe. This year with the combined meeting however, we only have 4 available tutorial spots. Each talk will be 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions. These are meant to be general overviews of the subject manner. The tutorial topics will be:

(1) CCMC Models and Other Student Tools (4-D orbit viewer, autoplot, etc.)
(2) Magnetospheric Geography (explanation of different regions and physics)
(3) Storms and Substorms
(4) MI coupling

Once again, with this reduced number, student funding for GEM will primarily depend on the quality of the research statement you submit.

Please email your student reps Robert (robert.allen at swri.org) and Lois (loisks at umich.edu) with the following information if you would like to apply:

(1) Your Name
(2) Your institution
(3) Topic(s) you would like, with preference clearly stated. The more topics you are willing and able to give, the more of a chance you will have of giving a tutorial.
(4) Year in graduate school
(5) Motivation for giving a talk

Applications are due by March 1st! That's next week!! 

Thanks!
