Recent expansion of APS-DPP education and outreach activities

Since 1988 the APS-DPP has organized activities at the DPP conference with the aim of communicating with and exciting the local community about plasma physics and fusion. The two main activities have been the Teachers Day workshop, a teacher development program for local MS and HS teachers, and the plasma expo, a science fair-style event for the students. Additionally, every year undergraduate students present their research at a dedicated poster session; a panel of judges, members of APS-DPP, recognize the best posters with awards at a student reception. All of these activities are organized and coordinated by the Education and Outreach (E{\&}O) committee. In this poster, we present recent expansions of the activities as well as additional events organized by the E{\&}O committee, including a Graduate Fellowship Opportunities Panel for early and incoming graduate students, a Graduate School Fair in which graduate schools advertise their programs to prospective students, and an outreach event geared toward adult audiences.
