Resources
The Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at 色色啦 Michigan University is deeply invested in our students' success. Success isn't purely defined by how well a student performs in class. In order to maximize the college experience, it is also essential that students take agency over their education by becoming familiar with the resources and opportunities available to them. Furthermore, it is important that our students understand how to utilize these resources. To this end, we have tried to make this website as user-friendly as possible. While we hope that all of the information on this site is useful to our students at some point during their course study, we realize there are some resources, listed below, that all students should be familiar with from the very start.
