SLU
Geology Alumni announce fellowship
in honor of J. Mark EricksonAt the alumni gathering at GSA in Houston on October 5th, 2008, we caught Mark off guard with a card and the announcement of the creation of the J. Mark Erickson Fellowship for Geology. This
endowed fund has received several big boots from sizable
pledges from a
handful of alumni. You too
can help get the JME fund fully
funded...once that happens, students can then be considered for the
fellowship. Bill van Wie '67 has established the Geology
Alumni Expendable University Fellows Fund*
that we all can
donate to in
support of the JME on an expendable basis while the endowed
fund is completed which enables the scholarship committee to award
fellowships to qualified geology students now.
For more information about the JME fellowship and ways to donate. Please look here. *Also known as "Alumni Geology University Fellowship." Donations to this fund are included in the Alumni Giving Rate. |

| Mark mentioned in the Spring Newsletter that he had written a letter announcing his retirement that was emailed to all alumni we had addresses for. This letter was written when retirement discussions had just finished and were not yet available for public knowledge. The Alumni Council now has permission to release the letter and Mark has asked that we make it available for all alumni to read. | The April 2011 Edition of Momentum. The University's publication about "Momentum St. Lawrence" featured 2 articles related to the Geology Department. One was about the Dr. J. Mark Erickson Geology University Fellows Endowment and its formation and the other on the "Involving Students in Faculty Research Programs: Examples from the Geology Department" seminar given at the celebration to the end the campaign. Read both here. |
