The Steering Committee leads Working Groups formed to advance the objectives of the ESSE 21 community for implementing sustainable, high quality courses, curricula and degree programs in Earth system science that reach diverse college and university student populations. These Working Groups address:

1) Specific needs of the ESSE 21 community
2) Mechanisms for addressing these needs
3) Priorities
4) Identification of new foci

Evaluation Working Group
