Geology Club Speaker Series
The Geology Club at San José State University is a student-organized group that meets on Mondays from 12 pm to 1 pm in Duncan Hall, room 306. Geology Club membership is free and lunch is provided during our weekly Monday meetings. The Speaker Series is the Geology Club's weekly event, which gives students and faculty the opportunity to learn more about geology-related talks from guest professionals on a wide variety of geologic subjects. We hope to see you there!
