“I felt immeasurably inspired by the exceedingly strong women
who spoke at the Women in Geology program. It was very
inspiring!” “This was my first meeting and I really enjoyed meeting with men-
tors. I hope they will continue to meet with students at the GSA
“I attended several GeoCareers Events and they really helped me.” meetings from now on.”
