In the wake of Rob Raskin's untimely death, his family has approached the Foundation for Earth Science/ESIP Federation to explore the possibility of establishing a scholarship in memory of Rob and to preserve his community-minded legacy for generations to come. This page serves as a workplace for the small task team (Rob's colleagues, his family and ESIP leadership) to share ideas and to sharpen the focus of the scholarship idea.
