Location: Centennial E

Please join us for a festive celebration of the winners of the Mary Fran Myers Scholarship, Disability and Disasters Award, and Hazards and Disaster Student Paper Competition. The award selection committee chairs will briefly describe each Natural Hazards Center-sponsored award and introduce the recipients. We will then meet the winners of the North American Alliance of Hazards and Disaster Research Institutes (NAAHDRI) Rising Star Awards.

We hope that all Workshop participants will take a moment to meet and congratulate the award recipients during this special session and throughout the duration of the Workshop.
