Welcome back to (Stanford) Earth
In the midst of a jam-packed homecoming week this year, Earth Sciences alumni congregated on the patio of the Mitchell Building to reminisce about the past and hear plans for the School’s future. We checked in with a few graduates to see what they're up to and asked them to remember their favorite classes and places on campus.
The School of Earth Sciences would love to hear from you as well! Please look out for a separate email request in the coming months to send updates to be published in the Spring 2015 Earth Matters edition.
