  • 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM
    2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers Eighty-two distinguished scientists receive accolades from groups representing their disciplines within AGU, the world’s largest Earth and space science society. By Robin Bell and Mary Anne Holmes ! 31 July 2019 The 2019 section awardees and named lecturers have been selected, and AGU staff, leaders, and selection committees wholeheartedly congratulate these awardees! Our colleagues have been selected for these prestigious honors for their sustained and unique contributions to advancing our understanding of Earth, its atmosphere and oceans, and planets and astral bodies beyond our own. The sciences encompassed by AGU are crucial for the health and well-being of our planet’s inhabitants. These awardees have contributed to both that understanding and the planetary health and well-being through their scientific advancements and outstanding service to the science and to AGU. https://eos.org/agu-news/2019-agu-section-awardees-and-named-lecturers Page 1 of 7 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM This year’s cohort of awardees reflects the diversity that is integral to the Earth and space sciences. Among the 25 sections of AGU there are 65 such awards; 21 are for early- career scientists (up to 10 years post-Ph.D.) and 6 are for midcareer (10 to 20 years post-Ph.D.). Twenty-seven awards provide named lectureships that offer unique opportunities to highlight the meritorious accomplishments of the awardees. AGU inaugurated the Bowie Lecture in 1989 to commemorate the 50th presentation of the William Bowie Medal, which is named for AGU’s first president and is the highest honor given by the organization.

  • Appendices Due to Concerns Over the Quality of the Data Collected
    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.
