Vermont Business Magazine A group of undergraduate students and faculty from Vermont State University (VTSU) recently attended the American Geophysical Union (AGU) annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Students absorbed information on a wide range of topics in sessions with roughly 25,000 scientists from over 100 countries and had an opportunity to present their research on a national scale.
“Two students in particular, Sam Cowan, Amelia Vlahogiannis, and VTSU research scientist Eliza Goodell, did a fabulous job of sharing research work with the wider scientific community,” said Ross Lieblappen, associate professor in the natural sciences department at VTSU. Lieblappen, who teaches physics, chemistry, and environmental science, added, “Our students used a variety of formats to share their projects, so we got to experience AGU from all perspectives.”
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with approximately 130,000 members, including Earth, atmospheric, ocean, hydrologic, space, and planetary scientists and enthusiasts. AGU’s annual meeting is the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, bringing together attendees to share research, foster connections, and advance understanding of our planet and environment.
