Halloween party was a success! Despite the semester getting busier, sometimes it's nice to hang out and relax now and again with food, costumes, a movie, and games.

One reason why we have the Geoscience department at ETSU is because of the Gray Fossil Site. It's such a wonderful opportunity to have this nearby and be able to take tours and learn about our area's paleontological history.

ETSU Department of Geosciences and the City of Johnson City use citizens like YOU to help collect scientific data! The next time you're at Founders Park, be sure to report the water level!
