Future Challenges for the Earth Sciences   (November 6 - 8, 2009)

REGISTRATION FEE

The registration fee for the entire weekend, including meals, is $225 per person. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Geology and Geophysics are underwriting a substantial portion of the cost in order to make the weekend affordable for as many alumni as possible.

If the $225 fee would prevent you from participating, please contact Julia Downs at the Association of Yale Alumni, 203-432-1942 (or julia.downs@yale.edu). Limited scholarship funds are available.
