REACH teachers,
It's time to register for the 2023 REACH Symposium! This will be the 19th annual Environmental Health Science Symposium and it's sure to be a great day!

Register here by April 7, 2023: https://umt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9HJBRhBPHf0hxR4

REACH teachers, save the date of May 16, 2023 for our 19th annual Environmental Health Science Symposium to be held at the University of Montana! If your class, or students from your class, are unable to travel to Missoula, we will also be offering a virtual symposium option - date TBD.

The REACH team is proud to share our new publication in the Journal of STEM Outreach! Check it out:

Local Application of Scientific Research Practices Builds Student Engagement in Science and Environmental Health | Published in Journal of STEM Outreach By David Jones, Anna Kiley & 3 more. We describe the Research Education on Air and Cardiovascular Health (REACH) Program and its goal to engage students in real-world scientific research to improve understanding of and interest in science.

REACH teachers, please share this opportunity with interested high school students!

Happy Holidays from the REACH team! We hope your season is filled with joy.

Check your email for the December check-in. An important symposium survey is included and we would love your feedback as we begin preparing for our 19th annual (!) Environmental Health Science Symposium.

REACH is on the road for introductory classroom presentations. A “good” day to discuss air quality when the Mission mountains are hardly visible. 😏

Have you scheduled your intro presentation?

Important reminder!

We are asking all teachers to register to participate in REACH this school year. Follow the link below to indicate that you will be participating (or check your email for the link).

We can't wait for a great year!

The 2022 REACH Teacher Workshop brought together 16 teachers from Montana, Alaska and Idaho to collaborate on bringing authentic air quality research projects to their students.

The workshop welcomed four guest speakers from the University of Montana including Dr.'s Ethan Walker, Lu Hu, and Chris Migliaccio, and staff statistician Cindy Leary.

We are excited to kick off another year! If you are a current REACH teacher, please be sure to complete the new registration (link sent via email)! If you are a teacher interested in joining our program, please message us!
