==== Call for Applications for GEM Student Representative ====
Application deadline: May 1, 2013

GEM graduate students are invited to apply for the position of student representative for the 2013-2015 term. There are always two GEM student representatives with overlapping terms.

Interested students should have previously attended at least one GEM summer workshop, be graduate students actively researching in a GEM field, and have at least two years left before finishing their degree. The GEM student representatives are responsible for organizing the student tutorial day at the GEM summer workshop, representing students at the GEM steering committee meetings, and coordinating/facilitating other professional and social activities for the GEM student community.

To apply, please submit your name, student status (year/anticipated degree/institution/advisor) and one or two paragraphs describing your vision and qualifications for serving as the GEM student representative. This information will be distributed at the GEM 2013 student tutorial day on June 16, 2013. The new representative will be selected by vote during the GEM 2013 Summer Workshop.

Please submit all applications to Nathaniel Frissell <nafrissell@vt.edu> and Roxanne Katus <rkatus@umich.edu> by June 1, 2013.

==== CCMC Student Research Contest ====
The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) and National Science Foundation (NSF) are pleased to announce the first CCMC Student Research Contest.

We invite undergraduate and graduate students who are using (or have recently used) CCMC tools and services in a research project to enter the contest. We also encourage students who used the CCMC tools in a project as a part of their coursework to apply.

A winner will be invited to present their work at the 2012 GEM workshop, and receive travel support.

The report (not to exceed 12 pages) should include a problem statement, which CCMC tools were used and how, description of the results, discussion, conclusions, and references. The report should include figures (generated with CCMC visualization tools) to convey the results in a clear and interesting manner. Ideally, a report can be used as a base for a paper.

Deadline for report submission is May 1, 2012. The reports will be evaluated and winners selected by mid May.
For more information, visit http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/support/contest.php, or contact Rebekah Evans (rebekah.e.frolov@nasa.gov).
