Meet Geoffrey Stillwell, a current student in the Environmental Geology program! He comes to the program as a retired geology professional with a B.S. in Physics and B.S. in Applied Math, as well as a M.S. in Geotechnics, Environmental Engineering, and Watershed Management/Restoration. Geoffrey has a background in the applied aspects of earth science and recently developed an interest for the theoretical content of the geosciences and ecology and their presentation (importance) in education.

We are pleased to highlight Mr. Wendkouni Hermann Nikiema as a new member of the University of Illinois family! Hermann is a geologist with five years of industry experience in his home country, Burkina Faso, Africa.

Geology alumna (2011) Dr. Jenna L. Shelton is Associate Program Coordinator with the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program at the of the U.S. Geological Survey. We asked her a few questions we thought might be of interest to current and prospective students.
