UT Jackson School will be at the GSA 2005 Annual Meeting!

UT Austin will be represented at GSA's 2005 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, by members of its staff, students, and alumni.

Happy birthday, Bob Folk!
Come join us at the special session: Petrographic Methods Applied to Sedimentary Rocks: To Celebrate the 80th Birthday of Bob Folk, Monday, Oct. 17, from 1:30-5:30 PM, in room 151 DEF.

Friends, alumni, join us for dinner Monday (Oct. 17) night!

Rich Ketcham will be the instructor for the short course, "Thermochronology." The course will be held Friday-Saturday, 14-15 October, from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, at the Snowbird Resort, Snowbird, Utah. The course is sponsored by Mineralogical Society of America.
