NeoGeos Meet Geoscience Students at Expo

NeoGeos Meet Geoscience Students at Expo
The AAPG/SEG student expo on October 8-9th at the Westin Galleria in Houston was a huge success. More than 200 students and 35 companies from around the world attended. AAPG past-president Lee Billingsley gave an opening address emphasizing the importance of professional societies.
 The Neo Geos had a well staffed booth. During the meeting, HGS and Neo Geos volunteers signed up 25 new student members and 5 new active members of HGS. This brings the current number of HGS student members to 36. Previously HGS had 11 student members. Discussion at the HGS booth was lively. Several more HGS student recruiting activities are planned for the months ahead.  Those participating in the booth were: Tim Gibbons (Neo Geos Chairman), Dianna Phu (Neo Geos past-chair), Lauren Petty, Paul Babcock (past HGS VP), and Charles Sternbach (past HGS President).
