A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil...

Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)
The K-State Geology Department has been preparing its students for careers and advanced studies in the profession for over 60 years, and their successes have made us proud. Our alumni---and alumnae---are all over the world, and show their appreciation for their time here in many important ways.

We make the K-State experience more than a program of study, with careful and caring advisement, mentoring, social activities, and a common interest in career advancement. Indeed, much of what our students take away is acquired from their fellow students, the first steps toward the networking so important in our turbulent, and exciting, profession.

Our department is getting younger, as some older faculty have retired or moved to higher administrative positions, to be replaced by new hires. This year we are searching for two more faculty, and we will likely be recruiting again the following year. In a very few years we should have one of the most youthful faculty in the region! (Professor Clark reminds us that geologists age slowly, and as long as he can beat most of our students at racquetball, age is immaterial.)

So, if you are interested in furthering your education at a school where the students are truly valued, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, let us know. We'll be looking for your inquiries.
