• Nobody is going to want to talk to us again! • But I cannot teach numerical methods! • But I cannot teach geochemistry! • Maybe we should call it a BA? • I have never worked as a professional geologist, but I can tell you that employers just want welleducated geologists.

INTANGIBLES FOR THE STUDENTS • Field work (general and applied) • Computer work (Excel and professional software – e. g. slope stability analysis) • Internships • “Walk” good students to graduate school • Professional advisement and “employment agency” services
INTANGIBLES FOR THE PROFS • Seek a new hire in Geochemistry • Allow for consulting as a valid RPT scholarly activity • Increase number of students so we can go into a yearly offering of classes. Reward faculty for their recruitment efforts.
MY SOAP BOX • Faculty should try to get professional work experience and professional certifications. • If your are going to assess the program, then be ready to fix the problems. • Stay the course. Beware of loss of heart along the way.
