Weekly "pop-up" seminar on Salton Sea - Wednesdays at 11

Each Wednesday at 11 am (Pacific) we will likely be holding a one-hour
seminar on Salton Sea-related topics.  We invite you to attend the seminar.
We're calling it a "pop-up" seminar because it is possible some weeks we
won't have a speaker.  But when we do it will be extremely interesting.
For example, today our own Charlie Chesney will be discussing the future of
lithium mining and economic development in the Salton Sea region.

We meet in Zoom
Passcode: 473339

We will have national and regional experts presenting to us and joining the
conversation throughout the quarter.

Please email Project Coordinator Azucena Beltran (azrbeltr@ucsc.edu) if you
would like announcements about upcoming speakers.

*More background:*

At the request of the state Natural Resources Agency, UCSC is leading an
evaluation of water importation concepts for the long term restoration and
management of the Salton Sea.  Located near the Mexican border, the Salton
Sea is California's largest lake and is shrinking due to water transfers
out of the region. Our project is looking at environmental, social,
economic, public health, cultural, engineering, diplomatic, and other
aspects of importation concepts for long-term restoration.  5 UCSC grad
students have been employed on the project.

We have an opportunity to invite the leading scholars and practitioners on
Salton Sea restoration to give presentations.  We will learn about how the
state and region are dealing with cascading impacts on the region as the
sea shrinks away due to reduced inflows.

QT Grad Virtual Writing Group

The Lionel Cantú Queer Resource Center is sponsoring a virtual writing group for graduate students working on queer and/or trans issues and identities. The group will meet three times a quarter to write and chat together, and the third session of each quarter will be a space to share writing and workshop. Grads who attend the first two sessions will be eligible for a DoorDash gift card to get a free meal for the third session! 

The fall dates are Oct 18, Nov 15, and Dec 6 from 4 to 5:30pm. You can register for all the sessions at linktr.ee/queerucsc. See attached flyer.

CSE Directed Reading Program

The CSE Directed Reading Program is an opportunity for graduate students to work one on one with undergraduates for a quarter to help them study an advanced topic that the graduate student is knowledgeable about. The time commitment for graduate students is only 1 hour a week, and would provide valuable mentoring and teaching experience (and potentially future undergraduate research candidates). Participation would be on a quarter by quarter basis, so that if you get really busy one quarter or are no longer interested in mentoring you can stop participating easily.

For more information, please see this Google doc: Link

If you are interested in potentially participating in this program in the future as a graduate student mentor, please fill out this form: Interest Form

Please send me an email at evin@ucsc.edu if you have any questions, input or just want to discuss this further!
