The NSF Unidata Program Center is pleased to welcome new members to the program's advisory committees. Committee members serve three-year terms, meeting twice each year to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the NSF Unidata Program and advise staff on issues facing the university community. Appointments reflect the range of large and small colleges and universities with undergraduate and graduate emphases where NSF Unidata systems are in use.

The NSF Unidata Users Committee is seeking nominations for a Graduate Student representative to join the group of university faculty members who serve on this committee. Nominees should be Graduate Students who use NSF Unidata software, hold a strong interest in the NSF Unidata program, and have an interest in learning how a community-based program like NSF Unidata is governed. Nominations may be made by any community member, and self-nominations are acceptable. This position will be for a two-year term beginning with the fall 2025 Users Committee meeting.

NSF Unidata is governed by its community. Our Strategic Advisory and Users committees facilitate consensus-building for future directions of the NSF Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement for the community. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps NSF Unidata stay on top of trends in Earth Systems Science education and research; for example, recent initiatives on Python and cloud-based computing have benefited tremendously from committee advice and involvement.

We are looking for several creative people at U.S. universities and colleges who are using NSF Unidata products and services — or who are familiar with NSF Unidata — to help guide the program in addressing the needs of our growing community. Nominate someone (even yourself) to join NSF Unidata's governing committees today!

We need the insights of active educators and researchers to spot new opportunities and take advantage of the expanding range of scientific data. We're looking for help identifying new tools and services — along with improvements to our existing offerings — that will advance the scientific and educational goals of the community.

Note: The deadline for nominations to serve on Unidata's governing committees has been extended until August 1, 2022. We are especially in need of individuals from diverse institutions in the geosciences who can help set Unidata's course for the coming decade as part of our Strategic Advisory Committee.
