This grant is providing travel support for 25 community college geoscience program faculty members to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA), being held in Minneapolis, MN from October 9-12, 2011. Participants are attending two special events focused on 2-year and community college geoscience programs during the annual meeting: 1) a special technical session on "Geoscience for All - Strategies for Effectively Teaching a Broad Student Population - Lessons Learned from Two-Year Colleges and Other Open-Door and Diverse Institutions"; and, 2) a special pre-meeting short course focused on "Two-Year College Faculty: Possibilities, Challenges, and Successes".

这笔赠款为25名社区大学地球科学项目教职员工提供差旅支持，以参加2011年10月9日至12日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行的美国地质学会(GSA)2011年年会。与会者在年会期间参加了两个特别活动，重点是两年制和社区大学地球科学计划：1)关于“普及地球科学--有效教授广大学生群体的战略--从两年制学院和其他开放和多样化机构中学到的经验”的特别技术会议；以及2)一个特别会前短期课程，重点是“两年制大学教师：可能性、挑战和成功”。
