This past Saturday, Jack Redden, a professor emeritus from SDSM&T, held a dinner to honor maps and papers that he just had published by the USGS. These maps were created from over 50 years of work that Jack and others have done. The maps are beautiful and the paper is wicked awesome. Anywho… the dinner was wonderful. Students were able to sit alongside professors and geologists from around the area and socialize. I greatly enjoyed my time sitting with Dr. Fox and listening to his stories about the “old days” in the department and what types of shananigans the professors would get into. Every student that atteneded enjoyed the event; which makes me hopeful that the department would plan some sort of socializing event like that every year. It was a good way to connect with the profs and to build connections with alumni and friendly geologists from around the area. I just thought I would share my experience with you.
