Exciting news for the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department: Brooklyn College’s Geology Society has just clinched victory in the Northeastern Section of the 2025 GSA Geology Club Tee-Off competition. National finals are just around the corner, with voting opening in late April here.
The brilliant design of the winning submission (shown above) came from Brooklyn College’s very own Geology Society Vice President, Noah Hopkins.
Reflecting on the competition, Professor Wayne Powell commented, “When we made it to the final round against Stockton University (NJ), it was a nail-biting showdown! Our club members really came together, networking and rallying for support. I was on the edge of my seat, watching the vote totals climb throughout the night, frantically reaching out to friends and colleagues to join in the effort. In the end, we celebrated a thrilling victory by over 200 votes, amassing a total of 2636 votes!”
The competition, sponsored by the Geological Society of America, aims to boost student engagement and shine a spotlight on the incredible work being done by geology clubs across campuses.
The Brooklyn College Geology Society is more than just a student club. It’s a vibrant community dedicated to fostering a love for geology and the natural world among students from all backgrounds.
