Science ’72 (Geology) Grads Give Back to Queen’s

On the 40^th anniversary after their graduation, eight members of Sc.’72 (Geology)
(34% of the graduating class) returned to the Queen’s Geology Department, at their own expense, to present one project from their long careers. The purpose was to encourage the current crop of students and to show some of the many different
career paths that they might consider after graduation.

This seminar was dedicated to Prof. Al Gorman, a much beloved teacher and personal friend, who at this time is battling cancer. 
We endorse the W.A. Gorman Legacy Teaching Fund!
