The Aftermath of Today's Meeting

 A lot was discussed today:

Spring Newsletter:  The newsletter will be published the first week or second week in April.  This means submissions are due by April 1st.  Submissions can be anything related to the department, stories, interviews, pictures...etc.  We are planning on sending them to alumni as well this year.

SEM Sweatpants and Geology T-shirts:  SGE will be selling sweatpants for the school of engineering and mines.  They will be gray and will have "UND Engineering and Mines" down the leg.  We are having a design contest for geology t-shirts this year.  Submissions can be emailed to undgeology@gmail.com in .pdf format.  They can be back and front and one color.

Museum Display Contest:  SGE is also hosting a contest for students to design a display case and win $100.  Look for more information to come.

Initiation:  Initiation will be potluck style.  We are figuring out a date and location.

Spring Banquet: We have the art museum reserved for the banquet.  We need to still plan the menu.  Joe is working on getting a speaker.

Also, the first spring tour is on March 4th.  Volunteers are needed and can sign up in the office.

Stay classy Geology,
Ashley

Updates and Field Camp Scholarships

SGE met this past Wednesday, and discussed ordering geology t-shirts and having a corresponding design contest, producing SEM sweatpants, field camp scholarships, having a spring semester newsletter, and the display contest.

We will be checking on the costs of t-shirt printing for next meeting.

We will be going to BOSP to get funding for the newsletter.

Field camp scholarships are now open to those going to field camp this summer.  Applications can be found under "documents" on this site.  There will be two $250 scholarships awarded.  Applications will be due on April 1st.
