The School of Geosciences has provided me with endless opportunities, unparalleled
to our students annually
experiences, and a home away from home. Through the classes and the student organizations, like the Pick and Hammer Club I have been a part of since my freshman year, I have found unforgettable companionship through an amazing community that shares my interests and drive for success. The school has also better prepared me for my future career by providing unrivaled experience and knowledge from engaging courses, labs, and field trips through surrounding states. The school’s undergraduate research program, through which I am working on a project related to ridge subduction and igneous rock emplacement, has equipped me with further experience in one of the subjects I am most interested in, as well as crucial connections that will help me to succeed in my future.” BRAEDEN MORELAND | OU Class of 2025 Major: Geology From: Elgin, Oklahoma
