This webpage is the home of the Texas Statewide AIPG Student Chapter. All geoscience students in Texas are invited to participate.
This Chapter, formed in 2019, is intended to:
bridge the distance between universities in Texas while still obtaining all the features of an individual AIPG student chapter, except of course, the one-on-one contact, as important as that is.
provide students with various views into the professional world of applied geology, geophysics, and other related fields within the geosciences.
Existing Student Chapters at various universities in Texas are invited to also join in with the the discussions, student blog, and any other activities that might benefit Texas students, such as announcements of field trips in Texas (more), scholarships for Texas students (more), conferences in Texas (more), and sources of technical information from various fields professional geoscience (more). The social media (Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) are available on this webpage is for your use.
A Faculty/Professional Member will be appointed to provide support and oversight of this Virtual Student Chapter in Texas. In the meantime, information for students and young professionals have been included in the following presentation (more).
Henry Wise, P.G., C.P.G., President of the AIPG Texas Section, announced the appointment of Bailey Hodakievic, a geology major at the University of Houston Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, as the new Student Councilor-at-Large for the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) – Texas Chapter. Hodakievic will also serve on the AIPG-TX Board and serve as President of the Texas Statewide Student Chapter.
Ms. Hodakievic will provide oversight and input for the general content of this web page, blog monitoring, etc. The format and content of this webpage will no doubt evolve over time.
