Volunteer SEG Honorary Lecturers Keep Busy
SEG Honorary Lecturers have been much in demand and, although
no funding is provided, have worked enthusiastically for the Society.
Below is an update on the latest presentations several have given
around the world.
M. Stephen Enders (SEG 1981 F)
In April, Steve gave two presentations:
“The mining industry—are the business models broken?” to a
group of about 25 industry and university attendees, at the
University of Reno-Mackay. The question-and-answer segment
lasted an hour—10 minutes longer than the talk!
“So, you want to be a geologist—careers in the mining business”
to a group of about 100 students and faculty at the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas. This was a keynote speech at UNLV’s 4 th
annual Geosymposium.
Mark D. Hannington (SEG 1991 F)
Mark presented at the following events:
Ottawa-Carleton SEG Career Day, January 17, 2009.
