Sigma Gamma Epsilon at W&M
The National Honor Society for the Earth Sciences
Purpose
We are a group of Geology Juniors and Seniors who are passionate about sharing our knowledge of the geosciences with future generations of geologists at 91心頭利 and with surrounding communities. Our society has four main goals:
- Provide tutoring sessions to students in introductory geology classes
- Maintain an online presence, informing members of scholarship and career-building opportunities
- Support W&M geoscience students by advocating for student needs to the Geology Department
- Perform outreach to local community colleges in order to foster a deep love for the earth sciences and foster connections between the W&M Geology Department and fellow geoscience departments in Virginia
For students in introductory classes, we hold tutoring every Wednesday and Sunday from 5-6 PM in McGlothlin-Street Hall Room 230.
For other important dates, such as our planned Transfer Days, please reach out to the club email sge.wam@gmail.com.
