Life After E&ES
We are proud of the many successes of our alumni. Our alums have distinguished themselves in the scientific community as well as the public and private sectors. The E&ES department strives to maintain a connection with our alumni to continue enjoy and learn from one another across the decades.
We have created a virtual community through the Earth and Environmental Sciences Alumni LinkedIn group. Here the department and alums can post news and events.
