We have a good time.
Kayaking was a splash this year! Thank you to everyone who braved the river, we love you all!
GeoClub and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences hosted the Spring Banquet at the Firehouse Museum! Thank you to all who made this a wonderful night of live music, skits (5 total from faculty, junior faculty, grads, undergrads, and Sierra’s EES Weekend Update), both new and old games, and karaoke, not to mention a delicious dinner from Chela’s and dessert from DJ’s! Finally, a huge shout out to the artists and creative minds responsible for production of the EARTH faculty trading cards that were dispersed. We hope to see you all again next year.

Grad retreat @ Beulah, MI. A few of us braved the freezing October waters and jumped into the lake!
A small group of GeoClubbers camped near Sleeping Bear Dunes over the weekend in September. They went petoskey stone-collecting on the beach, dune climbing, and hiking, and saw some moraines and glacial lakes - as well as classic Lake Michigan sunsets.
Our trivia night was a smash! Billy and Nik dredged the depths of Wikipedia to create two hours of mind-crunching questions. Two teams came out on top: the paleontologists must have really boned up on their random facts, and Amadeus (named for our President's new pup!) squeaked into second with some killer geography chops. Featuring La Croix and tiny trophies.
