Education & Outreach Activities
The NGI Education and Outreach Program staff exhibit and facilitate participation in important topical and regional science and resource management conferences and workshops such as Oceans '09 pictured here, and the annual Gulf of Mexico Alliance meetings.
NGI Education and Outreach Activities address several audiences with formal and informal education. Target audiences include the general public, K-Gray, STEM-related discipline teachers, stakeholders, resource users and managers and others with interests in the Gulf ecosystem and region. The NGI Program Office coordinates a network of professionals located at each of the NGI member institutions.
For information on any of these topics, or to obtain anything mentioned here, please email EandO@ngi.msstate.edu.
