Announcing the
4th
St. Lawrence University Geology
Alumni Conference
When: October
26 and 27, 2001
Where: At Brown
Hall – St. Lawrence University
Why: • To Share and compare life experiences
with current geology students.
• To honor the memory of Bill
Elberty, '53
• To introduce students to the real time activities and challenges faced
by geologists every day.
• To share
the science we do with our current students.
• To network
and share notes with each other.
Did you know that over the
past 12 years since SLUGAC One:
·
More
than 85% of St. Lawrence Geology students have attended one or more SLUGAC
sessions!
·
Individual
students have made life-changing decisions after visiting with and hearing
SLUGAC participants address them.
·
The
percentage of geology graduates who move directly into the job market has
shifted from approximatel
60% to nearly 95%!
·
Only
60% (or so) of Geology majors "Do Geology" as their career focus.
·
Traditional
areas of employment for our geology graduates such as petroleum exploration,
mineral exploration and government agencies have been vastly expanded to
include such areas as environmental services, insurance and banking, and
earth science teaching.
Do you know
where geologically-trained graduates will find employment over the next
twelve years? We think
— more Earth Science teaching;
— federal, state
& local paleontological resource assessment;
— college teaching;
— energy resource
management
— museum and
public science education
Our
present students want to know the view from the "real world." What trends do you see as alumni working IN
ALL FIELDS, not just geology?
Join us to discuss your experiences, to NETWORK, and to reflect
on new and old times.
We
have nothing to offer you but our gratitude and a potential tax deduction
for attending this professional conference!
Please
participate if you are able to do so. At least complete an interest
form to get on the continuing mailing list.
Registration
and interest form will be on this web site and in the mail.
