Call for Abstracts

Good Day!

Once again we welcome submission from educators and students to present posters of their course studies and or projects that relate to the Everglades.  Educators and students may also simply attend. Educators and students can attend for free, but it is first come first serve.  They may also be able to obtain CEU credits or points depending on your specific county.

This is to welcome you all to participate in the The John Marshall Everglades Symposium to be held this October 8, 2016 at the Marriott in West Palm Beach.

everglades flyerIt is a symposium to educate the public about the pieces of the puzzle that connects the Everglades and the toxic algae.
Educators and students interested in attending can get scholarship funds (first-come, first-served!) to offset the registration fee.   CEU/In-service points for secondary educators can be requested by using district forms.  The first 50 educators and students can register and attend free NOW:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/john-marshall-everglades-symposium-piecing-the-puzzle-together-tickets-26990907531
