Premiering EES YouTube Channel

We are working hard to find as many ways as possible to connect and keep in touch with our students, alumni, and friends.  Over the years, our collection of videos and photographs from field trips and study away trips have been growing, and we have launched our own video streaming channel on YouTube to share those with you.  This collection will be growing over the weeks and months to come as we slowly sort and upload the videos.  We hope these are helpful not only for alumni to reminisce your days at Furman but also for any one else in the world that want to see the places of geologic interest that we have been to and learn more about our student research projects.  So go on, explore them.
