Welcome to PGE GSA !!!

 

We are the Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering (PGE) chapter of Graduate Students Assembly (GSA).

Our goals are:
1. To facilitate interaction among PGE graduate students.
2. To gather and disseminate pertinent information to graduate students.
3. To conduct activities that promote the general welfare of PGE graduate students.
4. To represent the views of PGE graduate students to the university community.

Graduate Social: Spring '2007

PGE GSA would like to thank you all for making the Spring 2007 Graduate Social a great success. You can check Photographs here. They clearly say how much fun it was.We look forward to the next social in fall 2007.

PGE GSA Industry Meeting

Industry experts are with us on every other Tuesday to present a technical talk regarding their projects. They also discuss the career opportunities for graduate students in their respective companies. It is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to interact with professionals from the industry.

The seminars will be held in CPE 2.206. Free food will be served!! Do join us to enjoy the talk and food.

Industry Seminar Schedule for Spring 2007 :

Student Seminar Series

The main idea behind PGE GSA is to increase interaction among graduate students. As an important step towards it, we have started a seminar series (given by graduate students from the PGE Department or from any other relevant stream e.g. Geology, Computational & Applied Mathematics (CAM)).

It also gives the students an excellent opportunity to improve their presentation skills. Need some tips on making scientific presentation? CLICK HERE!

Currently, we plan to have a seminar every other Wednesday between 12.00-1.00 PM in Brons Conference Room, CPE Building. Please see map for directions.

The speakers will be presented with a small momento (funded by UTGSA) and the PGE department has generously granted us funding for refreshments. In case you are interested in giving a talk about your research work, please contact us.

Sports Activities Schedule for Spring 2007 :

All petroleum graduate students are invited for the upcoming sports events !!!!!!!

For the graduate students deteriorating health with continuous hours staring at their computers and for socialization which is best achieved in sporting events. We have decided it would be a good idea to hold a sporting event each week. Here are the preliminary schedules for the sporting event:

24th Wednesday, Basketball, Anna Hiss Gym (PM 5:30)

The facility links are the following: Anna Hiss Gym (2nd floor), Whitaker Fields (Guadalupe & 51st Street)

There may be shifts in schedules according to reservations on the Whitaker field. The sports activities coordinator will update you every week about the schedule. In case cancellation in the Whitaker fields due to rain, the email will be sent on same day till PM 5:00 There will be no cancellation for the basketball event whatever the weather because it is indoors. Don’t forget to bring your sneakers and student ID!
