50th Anniversary of Geographic and Atmospheric Sciences

6-8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22
Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center, 231 N. Annie Glidden Road
DeKalb, IL

 

Geography and meteorology alumni are invited to join us as we celebrate a milestone! For a half century, we have educated and shaped professionals who have gone on to make an impact in diverse industries and government agencies. Technology has changed, but our commitment to providing a solid education in a supportive environment has endured. Let’s celebrate the strong legacy we’ve built.


In connection with our annual Career Day, this reception is an opportunity for alumni to catch up with classmates and get to know our current faculty. Mission will be in the house for the first hour and available for selfies! It is also an opportunity for us collectively to pay it forward and raise scholarship funds in a relatively painless way. Tickets to this event are $50, with half of ticket sales going to fund department scholarships for students.
