Geology Department TGiRx (Thank Goodness its Rocks)
For those of you new to the concept, TGiRx (“Thank Goodness its Rocks”) is a very informal, come-as-you-are, weekly gathering of Geology-minded students (like yourself) and faculty. Each week one or more students gives a brief (10-15 minutes at the most) talk on a summer activity, field experience, internship, or research project that they were involved with during the summer. With or without accompanying digital images, rock samples, or interpretive music and dance (!). Those of us in the audience indulge in some sweet treat (think pie, ice cream, and food of that sort) during the presentation. Discussion ensues. All are welcome and all should set aside the time to attend!
Traditionally, we start by hearing from Geology senior majors who introduce their senior research projects. But we also want to hear from anyone and everyone who was engaged in any sort of summer activity (paid or unpaid, academic or touristic, here or abroad). Send an email to Rachel Bernard telling her what you did this summer so she can integrate you into the program!
Suggestions for food are welcome, please let Diane Hutton know if you have any special dietary needs.
