GLBRC Outreach and Education Award

The Outreach and Education Award is given annually to members of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) who have made significant contributions to the Center’s outreach and education mission.

The award recognizes GLBRC members who have demonstrated a spirit of generosity in sharing science with the public. Such efforts may include participating in or coordinating outreach programming, dedicating time in support of service activities, or sharing expertise with public audiences during their time in the GLBRC. Generous support for this award is provided by GLBRC’s industry partners.
