--------------------
Travel support is available for students to attend the State of the Arctic Conference, to be held 16-19 March 2010 in Miami, Florida.

The State of the Arctic Conference will be a major milestone for arctic science by providing an international forum to review the current knowledge of the arctic system in a time of rapid environmental change and point to future research, resource management, and policy directions. Participants will include a diverse and interdisciplinary group of scientists, students, agency personnel, policy makers, stakeholders and northern representatives, and media.

The organizers of the State of the Arctic Conference are developing an exciting program to engage and support students at the conference. In addition to providing a travel scholarship program, we will also offer a mentoring program, a networking breakfast, a dedicated "student meeting room" at the conference, and other activities.
