A special message from the president of the Pittsburgh Geological Society:

Thank you to all that attended our first meeting of the 2021-2022 year, it was great seeing everyone again!

We had several notable announcements at our first meeting that I would like to share with the members that were not in attendance. 
  • The Eastern Section of the AAPG will be meeting live and in-person from October 2-6 in Pittsburgh. Registration is open and encouraged! https://www.esaapg.org/
  • Through a very generous donation from THG Geophysics and Vice President of PGS: Pete Hutchinson, the PGS was able to award two students the Frank Benacquista memorial scholarship. The award winners for this year are Ellie Ruffing from California University of PA and Austin Keirs from Slippery Rock University.
  • This year, the Walt Skinner award for meritorious service to the Pittsburgh Geological Society was awarded to Karen Rose Cercone for her consistent dedication and service to the society, including her long stint as editor of the newsletter. It was Karen Rose who created the current full-color format.
  • Bar service for the meeting was sponsored by the California University of Pennsylvania Geology program. In future meetings, PGS offers the chance for sponsors to host bar service for the meetings. Bar service sponsorship offers the opportunity to advertise your business at the meeting through announcements and materials to be distributed at the bar. Inquiries should be made through the contact link on the PGS website.
  • Membership renewals are due for the 2021-2022 program year! You may renew your PGS membership here. Remember, if anything about your contact information has changed, you need to mention it.
  • PGS offers a special thank you to our corporate sponsors for their dedication in supporting the society! New space has been partitioned at the PGS website to thank our sponsors and provide more visibility of their support. We also now offer advertisement space for current employment opportunities at a more visible location at the website.  Please use the contact form on the website to request advertisement of employment.

I hope to see you all in October and stay safe!
