Earth and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student, Victoria Chraibi, was awarded an education and outreach grant by the Paleontological Society entitled "Paleontology in rural schools: Distance learning through virtual field trips at the University of Nebraska State Museum”. She will work with Kathy French at the Nebraska State Museum to develop a virtual field trip and associated educational material for the Explore Evolution exhibit at the Museum.
Chraibi has also received two Fulbright Canada-RBC Eco-Leadership grants for outreach projects: one used photography to increase awareness of nature in Lincoln city youth, the second developed teacher workshops on bat conservation and sustainable wind energy in Nebraska.
