The Geosciences Department launched a new initiative to help our students gain marketable career-oriented skillsets and to provide clear examples of pathways from a Geosciences degree to a career in geosciences. This initiative \u2013LET\u2019S GEO (Learning Ecosystem for Training Student Geoscientists for Employment Opportunities) \u2013 is funded by the National Science Foundation. A key component of this program is a mentor program that connects students with working geoscientists so they may better visualize geoscience career options and gain insight into professional norms and practices. Our first groups of mentors and mentees joined the program in Fall Semester 2021.<\/p>\n
Our Geosciences students who participated in the program in Fall 2021 are:
\nDakota Bishop <\/p>\n
