Program Information
NHERI support for graduate students. The NHERI Graduate Student Council provides an opportunity for graduate students to:
- Build a diverse graduate community for natural hazard researchers.
- Connect with diverse mentors in the natural hazards community.
- Attend natural hazards, research, and career workshops.
- Encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) conversations.
- Learn about the impact of research on natural hazards practice.
- Gain leadership, service, and funding opportunities.
The NHERI Graduate Student Council offers graduate students interested in natural hazards research a chance to connect with other like-minded students. The GS Council meetings will support graduate students in building a network of support in the natural hazards field. The council will connect graduate students to natural hazard leaders, schedule workshops on careers, research, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) while providing leadership, service, and funding opportunities.
Eligibility
NHERI Graduate Student Council membership is open to all graduate students interested in natural hazards research. This includes those graduate students who focus on engineering, as well as those who focus on social science or medicine related to natural hazards disasters. Graduate students from racial and ethnic underrepresented groups in engineering, women, and veterans are encouraged to register for NHERI Graduate Student Council membership. While we encourage membership from institutions around the globe, funding opportunities are currently limited to members in U.S. Institutions.
Registration
Registration for the NHERI Graduate Student Council will remain open indefinitely, and the ECO or GS Council leadership will contact new members at the beginning of each month.
