New Semester, New Opportunities

The officers of UW AAPG Student Chapter for the 2008-2009 are as follows:

PRESIDENT: Andrew Trzaskus (trzaskus@geology.wisc.edu)
VICE PRESIDENT: Eric Williams (williams@geology.wisc.edu)
TREASURER: JoAnn Gage (jgage@geology.wisc.edu)
SECRETARY: Erik Hoffmann (hoffmann@geology.wisc.edu)

We will hold our first meeting at 2pm on September 5th in the Cline Lounge. During the meeting we will elect a secretary, introduce new members, and discuss activities for the year. Please email one of the officers if you are interested in running for secretary. You do not currently have to be a member of AAPG to come to our first meeting, but you will have to sign up as a student member to continue to be involved. Details on this process will be given at the meeting.

On August 27th, President Andrew Trzaskus attended the UW eHub organization's first meeting of the semester. UW AAPG has established a collaborative relationship with eHub and activities involving both clubs were discussed during the meeting. Check them out at http://www.uwehub.org/.



The UW AAPG Student Chapter would also like to thank BP for a very generous donation in support of our organization. The donation will go towards supporting our activities for the upcoming academic year.
