A message from our president, Renee Richards:
Thank you so much to our membership and students who attended our 2nd Annual Student Symposium! We had over 50 attendees for our first in person meeting in over two years. It was great meeting new people and seeing familiar faces.
We had five posters from talented geoscience students from SBCC and Moorpark College.

- Effects of Lithology on Plant Communities in the Western Santa Monica Mountains by Matthew Rens and Ryan Parkyn, Moorpark College
- Hydrothermal Alteration of the San Gabriel Granitics by Alex Palache and Marley Ross, Moorpark College
- Chemical Weathering of Hornblende in Dacite at Tarantula Hill by Nicholas Kay, Alex Palache, and Alyssa Lopez, Moorpark College

We were also able to award scholarships to many deserving aspiring geologists! Many thanks to Pacific Section AAPG for their continued support.
