ABOUT

The Geological Engineering (GLE) Student Chapter provides a way for students interested in geology and engineering to explore both fields and interact with fellow students. Meetings are held on a bimonthly basis and consist of guest speakers from both industry and academia. Other events include field trips, regional/national organizational meetings, class advising, and department-wide social events.*
