Welcome from Chapter President

Dear all,

Happy 2011! My name is Ai-Chu Chang. It is my privilege to welcome you to AAPG Student Chapter-UIS as a chapter president. We are the first AAPG student chapter unit in Norway. The student chapter is located at Universitetet i Stavanger, Stavanger where Stavanger is the oil capital of Norway.

The establishment of the student chapter is through the kind help of Dr. Alejandro Escalona, Dr. Nestor Cardozo, senior geologist Knut Henrick Jakobsson at NPD, and is composed of many current master students at UIS. Hence, I would like to express my gratitude to each individual.

The goal of this chapter is to act as a bridge that connects students from academic learning to real life working application. To inspire students in such matter that could help them visualizing this profession at an early stage. At the same time, this chapter wishes to provide a bridge that helps students to connect not only locally but also globally as well.

2011 is the first operating year for this chapter and for sure it will be an exciting year for all the students as well.  I am looking forward meeting you in any our upcoming events.

Warm regards,

Ai-Chu Chang

Ai-Chu Chang

President of the AAPG student chapter, UIS
