Have you signed up yet for the fifth annual AAPG Winter Education Conference, February 11-15, 2008, in Houston, Texas?? We’ve included some returning favorites from past years, but have also added 6 new courses to the new roster. Check out the complete list of courses and all their descriptions at http://www.aapg.org/education/wec/index.cfm
There were over 150 attendees at the 2007 WEC, and many courses sold out, so be sure to register early to reserve your seat in the courses you want!******
Norm Hyne will be teaching the “Basic Petroleum Geology for Non-Geologists” course one more time in 2007, December 4-6, in Houston. This course is valuable for geotechs, landmen, and company support staff who work with geologists could benefit from a non-technical course that explains the language and processes of petroleum exploration. The complete course description can be found at http://www.aapg.org/education/shortcourse/details.cfm?ID=78******
There are several new offerings on our calendar for 2008, including several NEW short courses and field seminars, and three popular GeoTours! Check out all the course descriptions, dates, tuitions and instructor information on AAPG’s website at http://www.aapg.org/education/index.cfm

Attention Grad Students: Is there an AAPG course you’d like to attend for free?!?!? You can be a part of our Grad Student Projectionist program, and in exchange for helping out with the on-site logistics of the course, your registration fee is waived!! You still receive all the included course materials just like any full-paying attendee, and you’d be doing AAPG a big favor by helping make sure the course runs smoothly!! There is one slot per short course available, and this program applies to short courses only, NOT field seminars. For more information on this valuable program, contact the AAPG Education Dept. at or check out the details on our website at http://www.aapg.org/education/discounts.cfm These positions fill up fast, so please contact us soon for the courses you are interested in!

Special program for College Professors: Do you know about AAPG’s Professorial Grant Program? This allows you to take an AAPG course at one-fourth the normal tuition rate!! If the course is not in your city, the fund also pays for your lodging during the course, as well as a small per-diem for meals! There are two grant positions available in each short course (sorry, Field Seminars aren’t included), and positions fill up quickly, so don’t delay! Find out all the details at http://www.aapg.org/education/discounts.cfm, and then contact the AAPG Education Dept. to sign up!!
