Southern Connecticut State University Earth Science Department

SCSU Earth Science students and faculty attended the 61st annual Northeastern Section Meeting of the Geological Society of America this past week. From attending technical sessions to mentor luncheons, everyone learned and took advantage of the networking opportunities. Three of our majors successfully presented the results of their research projects on work done in Connecticut and Vermont. Great job, Gary, Wyatt and Arrebah! Dr. Cooper Boemmels co-chaired a session on Mesozoic Magmatism and Postrift Techtonics and presented research results on her work in Vermont. &sciences

On Wednesday, August 27th, we had people join us for our Week of Welcome event, breaking Geodes in the rock garden. It was wonderful to see everyone who came out to break geodes, and talk a little about Earth Science.

Please don't forget to drop today for some pizza and some information regarding career options in Earth Science and how to apply to graduate school. We look forward to seeing you.

The following article on CNBC states that Earth Science undergraduate majors are among those with the lowest unemployment rates in the U.S.

These college majors have the best job prospects — and they aren't what students expect Which college major students choose often has significant implications for job prospects and future career potential.

Welcome back! We look forward to seeing you. Please feel free to stop by, grab a snack, and break open and keep a geode.
