4:00 - 6:00 pm Sciencing it Up! Demonstrations, discussions, and details of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Majors. Anyone is welcome to visit and explore these science topics and events. Students and faculty will be available during this time to speak to current and potential students.  Some specific events include:
  • Majoring or Minoring in Environmental Sciences
  • Bismuth Crystal Growth Demonstration
  • Rotating Dynamics
  • Rocks inside and out
  • Hydrology across a Landscape
  • EES Graduates Recommendations to Current Students
  • Navigating D2L EES Student Resource Community
  • Welcoming Transfer Students
  • Undergraduate Research Opportunities in EES

Location 2: Outside Room 238 Chemistry Building

Date: August 25, 2023

Time: 3:30 - 4:00 pm

Event Schedule:

3:30 - 4:00 pm Are you a major in another discipline, but interested in environmental science? EES is a dynamic and applied discipline that is fundamentally interdisciplinary - EES faculty are jointly appointed throughout the college and university. We want to reach out to students that would like to apply theoretical knowledge to the real-world problems addressed by EES. At this event, meet with faculty members to discuss double majoring or dual degree options.
