<p>Dear Graduating Geoscience Students, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Congratulations on completing your geosciences degree! The American Geosciences Institute is asking for your help. For those of you that are unfamiliar with AGI, it is a nonprofit federation of 52 different geoscientific and professional associations that
represents the majority of the geosciences community. We provide information to geoscientists, as well as serve as a voice for shared interests of the geosciences community. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>AGI is conducting a research study looking at the immediate career plans for students graduating with a geoscience degree, as well as the students’ education, research, and internship experiences leading up to graduation. This will be the first major study
or its kind for geoscience majors. With job availability recently becoming a major issue in this country, many with the geoscience community have been wondering about how recently graduating students are faring in the job market, a<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">nd
