  • I was the faculty mentor for this year's winning team. Just over two months ago I started with a group of five bright but inexperienced freshmen M.S. students, gave them a room to work in and dropped in to watch from time to time. I was amazed by the long hours they worked and even more amazed at the transformation over the time of the competition. They finished confident, mature and knowledgeable, ready to start work tomorrow as petroleum geologists (well, almost tomorrow). There are no other courses or experiences with such an immediate impact on a young geologist.
