Hello Earth and Planetary Science Alumni,
The 2024-25 academic year has kicked off, marking the start of my second term as chair. Despite a little hesitation, I’ve decided to continue in the role. Truthfully, one of the highlights of being chair is meeting and working with our fantastic alumni—it’s something I truly enjoy.
This year, EPS had a strong presence at the GSA conference in Anaheim, where we hosted over 30 alumni, faculty, students, and friends. Looking ahead, I encourage you to mark your calendars for next year’s GSA in San Antonio, running from October 19-22, 2025. Alumni Night will be on Monday, October 20th, so don’t miss it! For updates on the event, be sure to follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn under Rutgers’ Earth & Planetary Sciences. Or feel free to reach out to me directly if you need more details.
We also use these platforms to share news about our local events, and we’d love to see our local alumni join us! Our holiday party is coming up on December 4th in the Geology Museum on College Ave. All events start at 4 PM and often run until 7 PM or later.
Our department is always growing and evolving, and The Redbeds will keep you up to date on the latest happenings in EPS. If you have any news to share, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to hear from you!
Best regards,
Jim Wright
