Spring 2008......Heads up! We're gonna try to do a lot...
posted 1/06/2008 11:29:00 AM by Graminis | 0 commentsWelcome back, and if you are new to UTD GeoClub welcome to you as well.
Keep an eye open for new things going on with GeoClub this Spring semester. I intend on having the first meeting the second week of school. Flyers will be posted around the geology department, utdgeoclub.com will have an announcement, members of this group will receive a facebook message, and an email will be sent out to all the geo-folks in the department. If you have not received emails regarding GeoClub events in the past and would like to receive them, then please ask Gloria in the Geosciences office to add you to the email list.

Volunteers needed! Yes, you! No, don't close the window!
posted 9/27/2007 07:12:00 PM by Eric | 0 commentsOn Saturday, October 6, 2007, APO is having their annual Math and Science Camp.
Math and Science Camp is for "underprivileged elementary students, grades 3rd through 6th, who might be struggling in their studies. This one-day camp features fun and educational workshops that help spark the children's interest in learning."
And guess what? We get to teach them how hard geology minerals rocks! There will be two classes: a rocks and minerals class, and a geologic disaster class. Plans are starting to come together, but we NEED VOLUNTEERS to help out!
Please contact Alex if you're interested in helping underprivileged kids learn about geology. You can e-mail him or stand and wait in the hall outside the geosciences department--he'll be by eventually.

If you are interested in participating in the field trip, please contact Bob Finkelman (bobf@utdallas.edu, ext 2459).
Help Wanted!
On Saturday, October 6, 2007, APO is having an elementary school math and science competition. I believe we're doing some geology specific things, and Alex needs some help! Just talk to Alex or e-mail him for more information.
We're also looking for people to help with tutoring physical geology, historical geology, and earthquakes and volcanoes ("shake and bake") classes. If you're interested, just leave a comment saying so or contact Alex.
