On September 20, over 300 members of the UW Earth & Space Sciences community, including over 70 alumni, came together at the Burke Museum to celebrate the Department’s 130th Anniversary. We would like to express a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us. Whether you were able to attend in person or joined us in spirit, your support and presence is invaluable to the ESS community.
This special gathering at the Burke allowed us to honor the history of our department, celebrate our current achievements, and discuss our aspirations for the future. We hope this provided a great opportunity for many to reconnect with old friends and colleagues.
If you would like to relive the wonderful moments from the evening, please check out the full photo gallery to see familiar faves and shared experiences. We also hope you had the change to explore the amazing Burke Museum and enjoy the delicious food and drinks provided!
