The A&WMA Southern Section is comprised of the chapters in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee.We are continuously updating the Student Achievement Award Committee mailing list and want to be sure we forward information to whomever in your institution is the most appropriate to address scholarship notifications and opportunities for student engagement.  To maintain your institution’s contact information on our mailing list, please acknowledge your interest in the A&WMA – Southern Section Scholarship Program via email, or telephone.  We appreciate your interest and encourage your participation.

We are considering other ways that the A&WMA – Southern Section can benefit students pursuing careers in pollution control and/or waste management.  We would appreciate your input with respect to ways our chapters could provide for technical exchange, networking opportunities, internships or any other ideas you may have.

Special Institutional Fee Eliminated!

The Board of Regents announced the elimination of the SIF as a result of an increase in state support, and the SIF appears to be on track to be eliminated in time for the 22-23 academic year. This means that graduate students will no longer pay $1,032/yr after taxes in order to work as GRAs/GTAs. It tookquite some time to get to this point and advocacy in this space has oftenbeen a complicated slog. But, we got there, and the outcome is verypositive for students and for our collaborative training environment.

Mind Melody Recording

The video shows Choreographer Bella Dorado responding spontaneously with movements to the music created by converting the brainwaves of artist Rachel Grant and mine while she paints, and I write equations on the board. On the screen you can see the brainwaves signals in streaming real time. Music created by musician and Georgia Tech student Dennis Frank with the support of Music Technologist Mike Winters, Ph.D.
Mind melody reminds us that teaching, like painting and dancing, is an art performance after all.
