We received a special request from La Paz County asking us to post their
CORRECT address in Tuesday Morning Notes. The address changed last
January, the correct address is P.O. Box 3485, Parker, AZ
85344-3485. Numerous notices have been sent but they are still getting
much of their mail from campus offices with the old address. The Post
Office is now starting to return mail instead of forwarding it. They often
receive mail that has past dates and/or extremely short time lines because
of the delay due to the use of the old address. Please make a note of this
very important change. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
* This is the final call for people interested in having a poster display
for Cotton Field Day at the Maricopa Agricultural Center next Wednesday,
October 11 from 8-Noon. To reserve a spot for your display, contact Ed
Martin at (520) 568-2273 or email at edmartin@cals.arizona.edu.
* SPACE GRANT / LAND GRANT GEOSPATIAL EXTENSION GRADUATE
FELLOWSHIP. Through support provided by NASA, the University of Arizona's
Space Grant and Cooperative Extension Programs are pleased to announce an
exceptional Graduate Fellowship opportunity for highly qualified incoming
and continuing graduate students to incorporate geospatial information
technology in their research, and who wish to see that research through to
application that can be of direct benefit to Arizona's land and natural
resource managers, Cooperative Extension agents, and the public. The
Graduate Fellowship is designed to support graduate research while the
Fellow assists in the development of geospatial demonstration tools for
natural resource education. A Graduate Fellowship includes a $16,000
stipend for one year, with the possibility for renewal a second year. It
also includes both in- and out-of-state tuition waivers, registration fee
waivers, student health insurance, and funds for lab and fieldwork (up to
$3,000 in cost-share provided by the sponsoring department). Candidates
must be graduate students at the University of Arizona, an Equal
Opportunity Employer. Applications are particularly encouraged from members
of under-represented groups and from women. Applications are due by
November 17, 2000. A working group from the Remote Sensing and Spatial
Analysis Committee will select finalists based on academic qualifications
and strength of the candidate's statement tying their research to the goals
of a natural resource education demonstration project. Finalists will be
interviewed the week of November 27, 2000. Awards will be announced
