A SURE Thing!
This summer, 11 undergraduate students majoring in geological sciences are participating in an eight-week Shell Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE.) The students applied for acceptance to the competitive program and spend at least 32 hours each week working on their chosen research projects. The Shell Exploration and Production Company donated $25,000 to the School of Earth Sciences to fund the program. The student participants are: John Calhoun, Matthew Dugan, Lindsey Hannah, Eugenia Hyung, Kera Judy, William Magee, Jeffrey Pigott, Jonathan Pratt, Saskia Smith, Justin Von Bargen, and Carla Whisner. Kudos to all!
