The Geo-Ecology Club was
founded in about 1973, originally as the Geology Club; the name was
changed to GeoEcology Club in 1990. The Club is one of the greatest and
the most active clubs on the campus. The Club is dedicated to learning more about geology, ecology, and
other earth and environmental sciences
issues. The Club typically sponsors a number of great field trips and visiting
speakers, and attends professional conferences and meetings held in New
England during the year. Students from any majors are welcome to join the
Club and have fun with other club members. To join the Club, please
contact the club officers (see who they are and their email addresses
below).
The Club
meets every Thursday at 12:00 in the Geology Laboratory, Folsom 302.
(Email club officers for accurate meeting schedules). Dr. Kevin McCartney
serves as the adviser for the Club. |
