Social Events

Community development within the organization is key to establishing life-long friendships in the geoscience world. Below are listed some of the events that we have participated in the past.

Caving at Whirlpool Cave

We  had a blast taking turns trying to turn around in the “Rat Hole,” hearing about the history of the cave, and experiencing a few minutes of total darkness. We celebrated with burgers and milkshakes at P. Terry’s afterwards – and were probably the muddiest people they’ve ever seen!
