  • GEO Newsletter 2020
    Department of Geology & Geography Campus, circa 1950 2020- 2021 Annual Newsletter Greetings from the Chair Hello, GEO alumni! What a year, what a year…seems as though the sands keeps shifting under our collective feet. There have been challenges upon challenges, but the Department has been able to keep up and keep moving, with many positives of which to speak. We graduated our first student from the Accelerated Professional Science Master’s program this past summer! If you recall from our previous newsletters, this accelerated version of the PSM was just inaugurated in Fall, ’18 along with twelve other similar programs across campus. Of all of the new programs, two have born the first fruit with graduations – ours and the one in Technology. The Graduate School is particularly proud of this achievement. Hats off to Shirley Menshah, ’19 and ’20, for this singular accomplishment. If you receive the alumni news magazine, “Forever EIU,” you will see Shirley and our program highlighted on page 27. We signed two more Articulation Agreements with Richland Community College and Rock Valley College, with schedules for both Geology and Geography programs in each. Our drone fleet continues to grow, with five more being added to the collection. These drones are being incorporated into our courses with field components as well as in research projects. This give students the opportunity to learn how to utilize this new and exciting technology in ways to further scientific inquiry and revelation. Last but certainly not least, Luke Jansen ’20, who is now a graduate student in our PSM program, won a singular scholarship from across the entire state from ILGISA – the Illinois Geographic Information System Association.

(Iota Iota Iota, women's studies) and Upsilon Pi Epsilon (computer science). University-wide honorary societies include the Boulder Society, which acknowledges outstanding senior men; and the Tower Society, which acknowledges outstanding seniors from all groups who have been traditionally marginalized based on their gender identity or expression. National honorary societies represented on campus are as follows: The Alpha of Vermont Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at the university in 1848 and has the honor of being the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter to initiate women and African Americans to membership, which it did in the 1870s. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa reflects outstanding academic achievement in a broad range of liberal arts disciplines and is typically extended to students in their senior year. The chapter also selects one junior each year to receive the Bogorad Award, which recognizes superlative academic achievement in the liberal arts through the sophomore year. The Mortar Board is a national society for senior women and men. Although membership in Mortar Board comes as a high honor for a UVM student in recognition of outstanding service, scholarship, and leadership, it is also a challenge for continued unselfish service in the best interests of the college campus.
