The GCAGS/GCSSEPM 2010 Convention will have a strong student focus, recognizing that students represent the future of our profession. The weekend program (October 9-10), will feature BP sponsored short courses, specifically designed to fill the recognized needs of students preparing for a career in geoscience. These activities will include:
- “Geoscience Career Fundamentals for Students” short course,
- “Geology and Geophysics as Applied in Industry” short course designed for students, and
- “Imperial Barrel Award Competition Training.”
Several, reduced-price slots will be reserved for students in short courses and on field trips. Additional benefits for students include:
- The opportunity to build a “structure of connectedness” with professionals via convention activities such as the Ice Breaker and “Meet ‘n’ Greet,” as well as after the convention concludes.
- Experience new concepts and technology via the Oral and Poster Session. Learn how the industry is working to improve our efforts to supply the oil, gas, water, and minerals that drive the US and global economy.
Come and join our geoscience community in San Antonio as we each seek to develop ourselves professionally.
