Geology Field Trips
Throughout the history of Weber State, students and faculty would travel to different locations during the summer semester on field trips. The Geology department was famous for putting together fascinating field trips to many different locations. Even today, students are preparing for some of the annual summer field trips with several departments on campus. This exhibit provides images from 1898 – 1963.
