Corey Dimond (BS Geology, 2008)

After graduating from Central, I decided to head south to Las Cruces, New Mexico to work with the one and only Frank Ramos (former lecturer/researcher at CWU Geology). My current thesis project is dealing with isotope geochemistry and titanium in quartz geothermometry for rocks dealing with the ~1000 AD eruption of Baitoushan Volcano on the border of China and North Korea.

I received a assistantship teaching GEOL 111 (same as 101 at CWU) labs three times a week. So far I love it, although it can be frustrating at times because certain people just do not care - no matter what you do. Overall it's awesome!

I really do miss Central - now that I am gone. The department down here is not as close as it was at Central. CWU Geology is great in preparing you for the next level - whether it is industry or going for your Master's degree. Enjoy every bit of it.
