SLUGAC

​

St. Lawrence University Geology Alumni Conference - Every 3 years SLU Geology Alumni, Students, Faculty, and Friends gather for a conference.  Networking and sharing experiences is key.  Forming friendships across many decades of SLU students comes along for the ride.

It's Unique

  •  To share and compare life experiences with current geology students. 

  •  To introduce students to the real time activities and challenges faced by geologists every day. 

  •  To share the science we do with current students.

  •  To network and share notes with each other.

  •  To let students know that there are many things one can do with a degree in geology.  We aren't all "practicing geologists"

  • To reunite with old friends and faculty.

Since SLUGAC One

 

  • More than 85% of St. Lawrence Geology students have attended one or more SLUGAC sessions!

  •  Individual students have made life-changing decisions after visiting with and hearing SLUGAC participants address them.

  •  The percentage of geology graduates who move directly into the job market has shifted from approximately 60% to nearly 95%!

  •  Only 60% (or so) of Geology majors "Do Geology" as their career focus.

  •  Traditional areas of employment for our geology graduates such as petroleum exploration, mineral exploration and government agencies have been vastly expanded to include environmental services, insurance and banking, and earth science teaching.
