Supporting Hands-on Learning in Earth Sciences
The School of Earth Sciences Field Camp Experience Travel Fund (Fund #641882) provides essential support for students participating in field camp programs, a cornerstone of geological education at Ohio State. Field experiences are crucial for developing practical skills in geological observation, mapping, and interpretation – skills that form the foundation of a successful career in Earth Sciences.
About the Fund
Established in 2009 through the generous support of Mike Morgan (BS '69) and Cynthia Morgan, this fund helps make transformative field experiences accessible to Earth Sciences students. Field camp often represents students' first opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, from mapping geological structures to analyzing rock formations in their natural context.
Impact
The fund provides financial assistance for:
- Travel expenses to field locations
- Field equipment and supplies
- Program participation costs
- Other field-related educational expenses
Under the direction of the School's director, these resources ensure that financial constraints don't prevent promising students from participating in this vital educational experience.
Why Support Field Camp?
Field camp is more than just an educational requirement – it's where theory meets practice, students develop confidence in their abilities, and lasting professional relationships are formed. Your contribution to this fund helps maintain this tradition of excellence in geological education at Ohio State.
