Earth Horizons Mission Statement:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many pressing social<\/strong>, economic<\/strong> and environmental<\/strong> issues are informed by the geosciences including natural disasters, public health, resource management and climate change.<\/p>\n

In the Earth Horizons<\/strong> program, a TSU-VU partnership, we aim to strengthen the pathway for minority students entering into geoscience careers and graduate programs to address these issues.<\/p>\n

To recruit, train and retain minority geoscience students<\/strong>, our partnership focuses on classroom and experiential learning to build the intellectual foundations and professional connections needed for successful geoscience careers.<\/p>\n

Earth Horizons is funded by a joint award from the National Science Foundation to TSU:\u00a0NSF #1801389<\/strong><\/a> and Vanderbilt University:\u00a0\u00a0NSF\u00a0#1801362\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
