Yale University hosted the 2025 New England Intercollegiate Geological Conference (NEIGC) in Connecticut, and the twelve 91¸£Àû attendees arrived ready for adventure. The weather was fantastic for field trips, where students explored tracks at Dinosaur State Park, outcrops of mineral-rich hydrothermal veins in Trumbull, and columnar basalt from the failed rift at Castle Craig Tower. Students also explored the mineral and fossil exhibits at the Yale Peabody Museum, and learned about internship opportunities in their collections facilities.
