The latest (July/August/September) 2018 issue of The Professional Geologist spotlights several student members of AIPG Texas Section (more). Inside the front cover, Uziel Rindon (SA-8457), geology student at Stephen F. Austin State University, is pictured with his National AIPG Undergraduate Scholarship Award and his sponsor, Dr. Kevin Stafford. Mr. Rindon’s article, “Why I Want to Be A Geologist”, is found on page 18.

As you know, the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) is currently undergoing their periodic Sunset Commission Review. In preparation for their report, a PG License Work Group that consists of representatives of the Houston Geological Society, AIPG, AEG, AAPG, and Texas Association of Professional Geoscientists has been formed to help coordinate any defense we may need to provide to the TBPG. I’ll be reporting on any activities that come up.
