COVID-19 has impacted us all, and a special workshop on the topic is being planned for the 2021 ESS Symposium. Led by Dr. Craig Wood, the workshop will focus on COVID-19’s impact, challenges, successes, and future on research, teaching, and extension. If you have success stories, or ideas on how to handle teaching, extension, and research efforts during this time, please consider being a part of this workshop by completing this form. The deadline for the specific COVID-19 workshop submissions is November 24, 2020, which is different from the general workshop submission deadline of March 5, 2021. Details regarding the general workshop submissions are expected in November.

We are pleased to announce we will be continuing the ESS Networking and Education Sessions into the fall. Mark your calendars for October 5th, November 2nd, and December 7th at 1PM ET. More details about each session will be forthcoming. Members can register for all or some of these events. Please direct any questions or feedback to Ellen Rankins (ellen.rankins@rutgers.edu).
