"One of my toughest classes at IUP was Structural Geology, with Professor Jon Lewis. I ended up teaching that class as a grad student at WVU. Just one of many examples of how my IUP coursework was an excellent stepping stone for further education."
Kalin McDannell, BS in Geology/Environmental Track, 2008; MS in Geology, West Virginia University, 2011; currently a PhD student in Geology, Lehigh University, geochronologist, and thermochronologist
