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:
