Recruiting Students into Geosciences

Friday 1:30pm-2:45pm
Round Table Discussion

Leader

L. Lynn Marquez, Millersville University of Pennsylvania

In a world of declining college enrollments, how do we attract students to join the geosciences? Once we successfully recruit students into our program, how do we retain them? Is a traditional geology program enough or even appropriate anymore? This roundtable is designed for faculty attempting to grow their geoscience programs while maintaining the experiences and skills that lead to successful employment for our graduates.
