I am especially excited about the “No Child Left Inside” day and the “Women in the Geosciences Day”. So get involved in what activities you can.

Currently this letter is being mailed to AAPG Student Chapters (so if you don’t receive a hardcopy you may need to update your address with us).

I would like to second Gretchen’s comments and encourage you to submit your work for the AAPG Bulletin.
