Special Invitations

Alumni Reception at GSA - The Geological Society of America meetings are always a good place to re-establish ties with Miami friends. This year the meeting will be held October 18 - 21 in Portland, Oregon. As in past years, we will participate in the group alumni reception on October 19 from 7:00 - 9:30 PM at the Hilton, Grand Ballroom. We look forward to seeing all the alumni who can make it to GSA.

Baldwin Frontiers in Geology Distinguished Lectureship - This is an endowed account set up to honor A. Dwigth Baldwin, Jr. to bring to campus scholars with national or international reputations to interact with faculty and students. The eighth lecture took place during the fall semester 2009 with Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Geophysical Laboratory. Dr. Hazen spoke on "Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins" . Check back in the future for the date and title of next year's talk. Anyone wishing to contribute to this endowment can do so by sending contributions to the Geology Department.

Limper Lecture Series - Each fall the Department sponsors a Saturday morning lecture series for the general public on a theme related to the earth sciences. These talks have proven interesting and lively, and have served as a vehicle for introducing geology to the public and for drawing alumni back to the department. For more information contact Kendall Hauer at (513) 529-3220. We hope that you will join us for a cup of coffee or tea, a donut and a stimulating discussion on some point of geological interest.
