Department Tutorials provide an opportunity for EPS concentrators and prospective students alike to meet with EPS faculty in an informal setting. In addition to learning about the variety of research available within EPS, the tutorials are also a great way to meet other students interested in earth and planetary sciences.
Our February presenters will be EPS concentrators who participated in research projects during summer 2021.
