I2M’s Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., C.P.G., and AIPG-TX Vice-President, Eastern Texas, presented and contributed to numerous lectures/demonstrations for the GeoDayz -2018 event to 75 students and about 10 young professionals attending the rigorous 2-day event dodging some rain between lectures and tented drilling, sampling, and logging demonstrations. All told, some 53 lectures/demonstrations were presented during the Saturday and Sunday by the staff of Hydrex, the host of GeoDayz-2018, and by I2M’s Mr. Campbell and Henry M. Wise, P.G., C.P.G., President, AIPG Texas Section (as rotating, personalized periods) to small groups of students (see schedule and photos in the Guidebook). Below is a link to the Post-GeoDayz Guidebook containing a table of contents, the program flyer, the list of sponsors, introductions, summaries of presentations/demonstrations, PDFs of the presentations /demonstrations, and the photo history of the GeoDayz – 2018 event held in Nacogdoches, Texas in late February:

The GeoDayz event was presented for two reasons: 1) to introduce students and new professionals to what they can expect after graduation when they initiate their careers in the environmental or other industries, and 2) to raise money for the Texas Section Scholarship Fund. I2M is supporting professional training, either in person by presenting lectures or supporting professional societies, or on-line via the I2M Web Portal and through publications by I2M personnel and associates (see below).
