ESA-QUBES Faculty Mentoring Networks

Faculty Mentoring Networks

The Ecological Society of America has teamed up with the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis (QUBES) program to offer a unique networking and professional development opportunity through the Faculty Mentoring Networks (FMN). QUBES (qubeshub.org) is an NSF-funded virtual center that supports collaboration to promote quantitative biology education at the undergraduate level. This partnership advances ESA’s initiative to prepare the education community for Big Data that is steadily coming online through the National Ecological Observatory Network  project over the next 30 years.

NEON is a continental-scale ecological observation facility, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle, that gathers and synthesizes data on the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on natural resources and biodiversity.

     

Benefits of Participating in a Faculty Mentoring Network

  • Access to peer mentors on lecture/classroom/lab effective tips and strategies in small group virtual meetings every two weeks
  • Recognition as an ESA Education Scholar
  • Be among the first of a growing network of faculty to incorporate data intensive strategies into the classroom
