The Geology Club brings together all students with an interest in rocks, minerals, or geology in general. We seek to provide field experiences for members to see rocks in the wild, and we regularly invite WNC geology alumni to meet with us to offer insight into transfer experiences. We organize a Rock and Mineral Sale each fall to raise funds for a WNC Geology Scholarship, and regularly host or attend speaker events at WNC or at nearby colleges and universities. Bring your rock hammer and hand lens and come join us!
