Alumni/Alumnae and Friends

Alumni and friends are an integral part of the Department of Geological Sciences. Their service on boards and in alumni organizations, and their generous financial support helps create a margin of excellence.

Camp Branson Geology Field Laboratory Development Campaign

Summer 2011* marks the centennial of the first session of the Camp Branson Geology Field Laboratory in 1911. The department asks alumni and friends to share in establishing two funds for the care and improvement of Camp Branson.

The Camp Branson Improvement Fund is an immediate-use fund that will enable us to perform needed improvements and repairs to the physical structures at camp. These include restoration of log structures, re-roofing of cabins, and replacement of field vehicles used to transport students to field sites.

The Camp Branson Endowment is a permanently endowed fund whose earned income will provide for student instruction at the MU geology field camp. Use of the funds can include scholarship awards, stipends, travel expenses, faculty support, supplies, instructional materials, and field-based equipment.

These two funds will ensure that future students will continue to receive the same excellent field training that so many alumni received. Learn more: download the brochure (pdf).

* tentative dates for the Alumni Reunion at Camp Branson are July 9-10, 2011.
