Dear ArcticNet PI's,
The ArcticNet Student Association (ASA) would like to welcome the new and returning ArcticNet researchers. We are currently planning the 2016 ArcticNet Student Day, which will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This year one of our objectives is to increase awareness toward the opportunities available to the ArcticNet PI's and their students, and the value of getting involved. The ASA is a way for students to collaborate with researchers both nationally and internationally, as well as a good opportunity to help organize Student Day during the ArcticNet annual conference. By joining the ASA executive committee or getting involved with the sub-committees, your students are exposed to volunteer opportunities and outreach programs to help spread Arctic research (e.g. "Schools on Board"), and various Arctic research programs. The ArcticNet Training Fund is also available to help support the training of ArcticNet graduate students and northern students within national and international field schools, courses or institutes. All of these opportunities are further described on the ArcticNet website (http://www.arcticnet.ulaval.ca/students/opportunities.php).
The ASA also maintains a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ArcticNetSA/) to share resources, opportunities and updates, and to promote ongoing engagement within the ASA community. We encourage all ArcticNet Students to email or message the ASA with any questions on getting involved. The ASA Facebook page is also a great space for PI's to post upcoming research projects and programs, and if you are looking for students to supervise in Arctic research.
If you have any questions, please email us. We are happy answer any questions you may have.
Thank you,
ArcticNet Student Association
