Something for Students


How They Spent Their Summer Vacation

Marissa Fratturelli and Caitlin Wolf spent a month in Paris working at UNESCO on environmental and gender issues.  Upon their return they presented their work at a department meeting attended by the university's new Vice President for Academic Affairs, Robin Bowen.

Undergraduate Conference

Our department was well represented at Fitchburg State's Undergraduate Conference on Research and Creative Practice.   Curt Heher, Katelyn Hennessey, Steve Wright, Patrick O'Brien and Marissa Fratturelli gave presentations, and Patrick had a poster, as well.   Well done, all!

Clair Memorial Scholarship.  Congratulations, Marissa, Curt and Patrick!

The Geo Club

The Geo Club, which comprises all geography and earth science majors plus anyone else with an interest, is going on a bit of a hiatus.
