Professors Kevin McCartney and Chunzeng Wang, and three students from UMPI GeoEcology Club and GEY213--Environmental Geology class, Stephanie, Tammy, and Keith, attended the 97^th (2005) NEIGC conference (New England Intercollegiate Geological Conference) held at Yale University from September 30 to October 2.
