    If you have never attended one, the SLU Geology Alumni Conference is a student-oriented event designed and originated by Geology alumni to inform our students about all aspects of the profession.  Alumni present talks about their projects or career paths, lead discussions, reminisce a bit, and generally network between alumni, students, and faculty.

    The occasion also informs alumni about department and university programs, goals and needs.  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.

    For those of you who have attended before it needs no introduction and just keeps getting better!  We hope you will return again for there is more to see and do.  Check the schedule below and then fill out the registration form with your check that covers the Bloomer Banquet and Lecture and return to:
