Another meeting tomorrow at 6 pm at the Georgia Neighborhood Hill Center.
I applied to a bunch of REUs for the summer after junior year and didn’t get accepted to any.
The world continues to burn and I’m sitting here reviewing 131 amazing applications to our REU program. Every single student has a strong application. So remember, if you don’t get a REU offer, it is not a reflection on you!

However, I think it’s making a mistake I commonly hear geologists make with regards to current events.
I have a hunch that this mistake is one of the reasons geology programs are struggling 🧵🛠️🪨🧪
