Alumni

Many alumni stay in contact with their geology professors and the department, either to seek advice about jobs or graduate school or to keep friendships going. Alums provide helpful information to students about graduate school and careers by making themselves available to talk with students, even coming to campus for events. Alums also support funds that allow students to have so many valuable experiences during their time here. We are grateful for all the support alums provide — thank you!

To ensure that you can receive the Department Newsletter each fall and are kept in the loop regarding alumni reunions, please make sure that your email and/or mailing addresses are up to date. We hope you will submit alumni updates — and please feel free to suggest ideas for content. We will also let you know about upcoming get-togethers at the major geoscience conferences. Even if you aren’t going to the conference, if you live in the area, we hope you will join.

Reunions

About every 5 years, the Earth and Environmental Geoscience Department hosts an alumni reunion which is separate from other reunion weekends. There’s always a field trip and BBQ, panel discussions, and a cocktail hour and dinner — and a lot of time to see old friends and make new ones.

Endowed Department Funds

Alumni continue to support remarkable funds that allow majors to travel to do research, experience the discipline in the field or other labs, and to attend and present at conferences. We greatly appreciate the work and lives of the individuals honored by the funds as well as those who generously contribute to these funds. You make a real difference in the educational experience of many students.
