Originally founded in 1968 as the Department of Geological Sciences, 50 years later, it’s time to celebrate!
As a graduate of one of our programs, we hope that you’ll join us during Homecoming Weekend in September to reconnect and reminisce with fellow alumni, faculty and staff. We’ve arranged several events specifically for you and you won’t want to miss out!
50 Years of Earth Sciences Symposium
Date: Friday, September 21, 2018
Time: 2 to 6pm
Location: Pond Inlet, Brock University
Learn what your fellow graduates have accomplished since graduating from Brock. We also encourage everyone to share memories of their years at Brock at the Symposium, with opportunities to socialize with one another, students, faculty and staff throughout the afternoon.
A cash bar will be available and light refreshments will be provided.
Earth Sciences Networking Brunch
Date: Saturday, September 22, 2018
Time: 11am to 1pm
Location: Pond Inlet, Brock University
Join us for a complimentary bite to eat – the day after our Symposium – before you head out to participate in other Homecoming activities. Share your insights and experiences with current students and recent graduates and meet the geoscientists of tomorrow as well as your fellow alumni in a more casual setting.
See you in September!
