St. Lawrence Geology Alumni

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT SLUGAC 5   “REMEMBERING  OUR  ROOTS” APRIL 21-24, 2005

 Alumni use the occasion to inform themselves about department and university programs, goals and needs, and to network with their peers.  The Geology Alumni Council, comprised of those alumni attending SLUGAC, meets to discuss their insights about the profession and their new insights about St. Lawrence.

 Some activities would include:

• R. O. Bloomer Alumni Banquet  (4/22/05)
• Talks for and with Geology students – “What I do and how I do it”
• R. O. & Vera Bloomer Lecture (4/22/05)
• Seminar (4/23/05) – Preparing for work: What are the skills to die for?

• Tour of new campus buildings including Brewer Bookstore, Student Union, and Newell Field House (4/23-24/05
• Tour of Wachtmeister Field Station funded by parents of geology major Erik. (4/23-24/05)

 We must have some idea of initial interest in order to advance SLUGAC planning.  This is particularly important to get support from SLU and for scheduling meeting and dining spaces and the President’s time.  Indicate interest by RETURNING THIS FORM.  Hard copy is most desirable but response by calling or emailing Mark Erickson at 315-229-5198 or meri @stlawu.edu is also possible.  You may also email Sarah McElfresh mcelfres @telerama.com because she is manager of the department’s alumni page website (http://it.stlawu.edu/~geoclub/alumni/).  We will try to post a running list of those who have expressed interest so get your friends together and let us hear from you.
 We can already tell you that interest is high this time and it will be a great conference if the number of responses Mark has already had is any measure.

 Please sign up ASAP and reserve late April 2005 NOW on your busy schedules.
