Science - Mary Fabrizio becomes AFS President 2008 The
AFS Equal Opportunities Section annually solicits contributions
to assist students from underrepresented groups in their travels to the
AFS Annual
Meeting. Typically,
Sections and Chapters have given $100 to $500. A contribution
would enable us to continue ensuring that minority and female students
will be able to travel to annual conferences and develop professionally
through associations with AFS. These awards are entirely dependent on
annual contributions from AFS units and external organizations. Over
the past six years, we have facilitated distribution of $15,500 to
support travel through a $500 award to 29 students from 22 institutions
in 6
countries (see attachment). Several of these students have gone on to
serve AFS as unit officers. Each year, the section provides a forum so that these students can converse with seasoned professionals and AFS officers, who assist them in meeting people and encourage the students to feel at home within the AFS and fisheries profession. These luncheons have included joint events with other Sections.
