Additionally, the Department and its majors, minors, and other general or invited guests participate in various field trips, extra-curricular activities, as well as promote geoscience study both on campus and in the community.
One such recent example is Scout Day at the Zoo. At the event, a couple of department majors educated children on the diversity of minerals and hardness of minerals in comparison to household items. Below are some pictures.
