The Department of Geology invites donations from alumni and friends to support the endeavor about which they are most passionate. The Department is indebted to the continued generosity of alumni and friends who donate to these funds.
This fund supports a variety of activities that contribute to the academic experience of our undergraduate, graduate students, and faculty, including hosting speakers for the department seminar, student field work, sample analysis, publishing costs, and travel support for students and faculty to attend conferences.
