Attached is the schedule for this year’s edition of Senior Research Saturday- which will take place this Saturday in the Geology Dept @ McGlothlin-Street Hall. It’s an important day for the department as the Seniors will share all they’ve discovered doing research over the past year. The event will commence at 9:30 a.m. in Room 219, plus we’ve got lunch (provided) at noon. We should wrap up by 4:30 p.m. with a reception (with Bubbly!).
