All, welcome back for the new semester, or welcome for the first
time if you are new. This is a heads up about the CCGS Annual
Kickoff Bar-B-Q which will take place next Wednesday evening--see
the attachment. This is totally free to students (both grads and
undergrads)--you simply have to send an RSVP to Allison Corcoran
(her contact details below). Note that in Allison's message below,
and the attachment, it does not specifically say that students are
free, but yes, they are--I have exchanged an e-mail with Allison to
confirm it.<br>
<br>
This is a great place to meet many of the folks from the various
companies downtown that are involved in the oil and gas business.
Plus, it is undeniably clear that the CCGS absolutely loves
students! Really! As many of you who have been there already know
they often ask students to stand for a round of applause--just for
being students! And besides sponsoring the monthly luncheons for
students, they offer two annual calls for scholarships, which have
been *really* helpful for our students. So for a couple of these
reasons, it's good to show your face!<br>
<br>
Let me also propose something new for this year. The CCGS has been
extraordinarily generous and gracious with our students through the
years so why don't we try to contribute back given our speciality?
In particular, one of the things that is really important to the
CCGS is outreach, education, and spreading the word to younger
generations about the endlessly fascinating field of geosciences.
They have done a verifiable boatload for the grade schools and
public libraries in the community via their Maps in Schools, Bones
in Schools, and Boulders in Schools programs. Much of this was
spearheaded by the late Owen Hopkins, and indeed, if you visit the
CC public library named after him
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cclibraries.com/index.php/branches/northwest">http://www.cclibraries.com/index.php/branches/northwest</a>), you'll
see an example of one of the beautiful outreach projects they did.
It hosts the complete front quarter of a Columbian mammoth--it is
impressively massive when you stand next to it, and it's worth a
visit!<br>
<br>
Anyway, maybe the Geology Club, or simply a group of motivated
individuals, would be interested in helping to move this outreach
forward? I don't have any specific suggestions about what to do,
but maybe we can brainstorm and also get in touch with CCGeo
Outreach folks, who might be looking for a hand with something?<br>
<br>
Anyway, we hope to see you at the Kickoff Bar-B-Q next Wednesday!<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
