Geology Society

Connecting staff and students in social and academic pursuits revolving around the underlying theme of Geology.

The Geology Society (GeolSoc) is responsible for organising a number of events throughout the year for its 150 active members (with 1,000 members from past and present keeping in touch on our Facebook page). At our core, our membership is mainly geology students, with a large portion of earth science/studies, geographies, with members from all disciplines with a curiosity in the earth sciences. Members include past students and SGEES staff, giving access to a large network of earth science minded people.

Past events have included guest speakers, quiz nights, sports events (including an annual Law vs. Geolsoc rugby game), movie nights, field trips (2021 trips to Rotorua and Golden Bay) and student symposiums at GNS.

We also hold three social nights every year, with the annual end-of-year formal dinner or more recently ‘rocktail’ evening always being a highlight. The GeolSoc also promotes any other events of interest to geology students, with our Facebook and Instagram pages acting as a vehicle for students to share information about job opportunities, scholarships, and any other points of interest.
