Beach Delegation to the Portland
Western Geography Student Conference

Congratulations to the large contingent of graduate students who made their way to Portland in early February for the 5th Annual Western Geography Student Conference. This group, in fact, won the prize for the most highly represented department at the meeting.

From left to right, we see Mesdames Valerie Müller, Erin Stockenberg, and Romey Hagen and Messieurs Shaun Healy, Lewis Francis, and Steve Newberg. The group gratefully acknowledges Dr. Chris Lee for his support of student travel to this meeting and Dr. Vinnie Del Casino for general coaching. On top of the general great attendance, students presented two papers, entitled:

"Using GIS to Update 27 General Plan Maps" by Valerie Müller

and

"In the Line of Fire: An Investigation into the Relationship between Aspect and Fire History in the Santa Monica Mountains, 1925-1997" by Lewis Francis, Romey Hagen, Shaun Healy, and Steve Newberg.

           

The whole Department is proud of the initiative you folks showed and for representing our program so well! And thanks to a certain member of the paparazzi for snagging these photos and smuggling them here <G>!
