Student Organizations

American Association of Petroleum Geologists, UTA Chapter

The AAPG UTA Chapter plays a critical role by providing an avenue where undergraduate and graduate geology students can engage in meaningful networking opportunities, and connect with professionals in geological careers, both inside and outside of academia. The Student Chapter Program is a wonderful way for student members and their advisors to build camaraderie around a shared passion, and to multiply knowledge and field experiences among a group in a casual, fun setting. Those connections made are of benefit to the chapters’ universities, to the students, to the AAPG and to the geologic profession as a whole.
