Sacramento AEG Annual Student Night 2022

The AEG Sacramento Chapter is hosting its annual Student Night meeting on Wednesday, April 20th, 2022. Student Night encourages students from our regional universities to make valuable connections with working professionals and the meeting is a great opportunity for geology students to meet/interact with professional geologists in the environmental & engineering geology fields. Student attendance is free and we strongly encourage professionals to attend and engage with students at this event. There will be a dinner, student poster presentations, and announcements of scholarship winners. Registration is $30 for professional members, $35 for professional non-members. No registration fee for students but please register for headcount and our food order.

Student Poster Presentations

We encourage students to display and present posters featuring their work at the meeting. Posters are the highlight of the night for everyone and an excellent opportunity for students to interact with prospective employers. The first eight students who sign up and display posters will be awarded $50. Attendees of the meeting will vote on the best poster, and the winner will receive an additional $100. Students who would like to present a poster only need to send me an email (mbuche@gfnet.com) with their poster’s title (working title is OK).
