Geology Alumni announce

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.
