“I thought it was important to have an organization on campus for like-minded individuals to have a place to bring their ideas and discuss historical happenings as well as recent events. The History Club offers this without holding students to any expectations or requirements which allows for so many more students to join.”

“It’s such a privilege to see student-athletes grow and develop both in the classroom and on the court throughout their time here.”

“From my first geology field trip at Hartwick, I was told that the best geologist is the one who sees the most rocks. J Term courses were one of the greatest ways for me to see as many rocks as I could. While at Hartwick, I traveled to Hawaii, the desert southwest, and South Africa during J Term. These opportunities immersed me in geology that I would otherwise only learn about in a classroom.

“For my Ph.D. research, I’m looking at subduction along the South American continent that has built the Andes. I’m focusing in on a region in Central Chile where despite seemingly favorable tectonics, there has been no active volcanism for the past five million years. I use earthquakes to image large structures beneath the surface, but to also determine the mineral properties of these structures. I combine that information with analysis of volcanic rocks from regions that remain active today to better understand the tectonic mechanism responsible for the volcanic gap.”
