Hello there! 

My name is Heidi Ferris and I’m an extension educator with Minnesota Sea Grant. I'm new in this role with the University of Minnesota's Sea Grant Program (MNSG) and am working to increase our connections with educators like you.

If you’re not familiar with MNSG, we work to bring water science to Minnesota communities, and we have a variety of free resources for educators that can be found on our MNSG Educator Resources page and through our work with the Center for Great Lakes Literacy.  

We have also just kicked off our MNSG Educator Needs Assessment. I’m hoping you might be willing to spend 10-15 minutes completing our survey so MNSG can better support educators like you in teaching water science topics relevant to Minnesota and the Great Lakes. 

To take the survey, please CLICK HERE or copy and paste this url into your browser: https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8uzv4SoXaAa1jxk 

Educators like you are so valuable!  From classroom teachers to field trip naturalists, nature play advocates to community youth club leaders– we at Minnesota Sea Grant value all of the formal and informal educators working for clean water across Minnesota. We look forward to learning how we can serve you better. 

Thanks for taking the time to complete our survey and if you’re willing, please share this survey with your colleagues. If you have questions, concerns, or would just like to connect, please email me at hferris@umn.edu.

 

Thanks, 

Heidi
