Engagement Opportunities
The SIP Program also offers plenty of opportunities to engage within and outside of your SIP experience. Explore some of the opportunities we offer!
Webinars to support you in your professional development and foster success during your service term and beyond.
A virtual call hosted by your Stewards Program Coordinator to connect, ask questions and meet your fellow SIPs at the beginning of your service!
Opportunities to learn alongside and network with other scientists at ESA or GSA Annual Meetings.
Welcome Calls
All SIP participants are encouraged to join a virtual Welcome Call hosted by their Stewards Program Coordinator during the first few weeks of their service.
Welcome Calls provide an opportunity to ask questions, review important information and connect with your SIP peers!
You will receive a meeting invitation from your Stewards Program Coordinator during your first week and have a series of meeting options to choose from.
Professional Conferences
Gain invaluable experiences at either (or both!) Ecological Society of America (ESA) or Geological Society of America's (GSA) Annual Meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity for all scientists to come together and share their knowledge with each other, learn about groundbreaking research, and to grow professionally.
There are opportunities to connect with other SIPs at both conferences!
