College, Dayton,
Ohio. Over 2000 school children and their parents
and teachers participated. It showcased
information on schools, careers, job opportunities, and technical and
professional organization to help youth in grades K-to-12 (and their parents)
make informed academic and career path choices.
The geology booth displayed December 26, 2004 Tsunami that devastated SW Asia.
Professors Cindy Carney, David Dominic, and Songlin Cheng, staffed the
booth. Bill MacIntire and Songlin Cheng
designed the poster.
