We believe that the contributions of GeoFORCE Texas over the past decade to fostering diversity and supporting underrepresented minorities and women in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines during the transition from high school to college, all within the context of the geosciences, is worthy of recognition by SEG in the form of the Special Commendation award. Contributions to diversity from the 2021 programs include participation of 389 high school students of which 82% indicated racial identities underrepresented in the geosciences and 64% identified as female -- statistics which are significantly above national averages for STEM education. Perhaps more impressive are programming results where more than half of first-time college freshmen enrolled in 2021 are majoring in a STEM field, with about 17% of those students majoring in geosciences. Out of all alumni of GeoFORCE Texas undergraduates currently enrolled at a four-year university, 8% are geosciences majors. These percentages are far greater than the 0.14% of undergraduate students nationally who graduate with geosciences degrees, according to data collected in 2019 by the American Geosciences Institute.

Warren Neff and Luke Gallery discuss exposing high school students to geophysics and how to incorporate the field into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. Warren also discusses how to recruit mentors for students and why shooting rockets in hallways is the best way to teach quadratics. Luke shares how he went from never hearing of geophysics to publishing papers and considering it for his major. Additionally, Warren highlights why keeping it real is the best way to teach students any subject.
SPE's Ambassador Lecturer Program (ALP), an initiative run by the Student Development Committee, plays a key role in training and nurturing the next generation of engineers in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. Young Professionals (YPs) visit universities and secondary schools in their region to help disseminate information about the industry, answer students' questions, and share their professional experiences. The ALP assumes a central and crucial position as a bridge of interaction between university students and professionals already established in the industry. It represents more than just a performance program; it is a channel of knowledge and mutual understanding, providing a space where students have direct access to innovative and up-to-date information on the latest trends and technological innovations that are shaping the industry. Through these presentations, students have the unique opportunity to enter the practical world of the industry, understanding not only the most advanced technologies but also gaining a broader view of possible career trajectories.

The Student Geoscientific Society was established in June 2007 and incorporated under German law in May 2012. As a nonprofit society, SGS promotes knowledge about geoscientific topics and encourages close collaboration among students and professionals of the various geoscientific disciplines and adjacent fields of science. The activities of SGS are based on the dedication of undergraduate and graduate students to the geosciences and to sharing our three guiding principles of leadership, community, and networking. Strong partnerships with the geoscientific coordination platform Geo.X, international and national geoscientific societies as well as best relations to contacts from industry and academia provide an excellent scientific and organizational framework for our projects. We focus our projects on improving the range and quality of course offerings by organizing field camps and trips to national and international scientific conferences, hosting guest lectures of highly renowned geoscientists from all over the world and holding a library.

A principle of the Student Geoscientific Society Berlin & Potsdam is to pass on knowledge in the field of geology and geophysics to interested and inexperienced people. Therefore, the members of our SEG student chapter organize field work projects which provide the opportunity to gain hands-on experience as well as theoretical knowledge to process the acquired data. In 2011, Aurelian Rรถser had the idea to set up a summer field camp, which allowed high school kids to get an idea about what is possible in geophysics. In cooperation with a local secondary school and the Berliner Unterwelten e.V. (Berlin Underworlds), which is a society for exploration and documentation of subterranean architecture in Berlin, an object of research and an appropriate syllabus have been worked out. All in all, nine SGS members, three representatives of Berlin Underworlds and 22 high school students as well as their physics teacher participated in this project, implemented on three days in August 2011. The main focus of the project was on the educational aspect.

Dr. Sina talked about the ResIPY program he helped developed to aid in geophysical monitoring. This event was co-hosted with Pick & Hammer Club and with the OU Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) student chapters on November 9th, 2019. The OU SEG student chapter spoke during an AP Environmental Science class at Norman High (local high school) about the importance of geology and geophysics as well as the great opportunities in those fields. Our SEG student chapter as well as the OU SPE and P&H Club exposed students to the many other opportunities within the field such as becoming a foundation geologist for sturdily constructing buildings or as a geophysicist analyzing earthquakes to studying the rocks on other planets. The Science Olympiad is an American team competition in which students compete in 23 events pertaining to various scientific disciplines, including earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering.

Geosciences has been a course not well known by resident and the Communities around, making it not to be a cause of choice for high school leavers and also the abuse of environment by the society at large. For this reasons the SEG NAU chapter was able to organize an outreach program with an objective to change the narrative. The SEG-NAU chapter which had about 40 members including executives and facilitators visited the Ebenebe town in Anambra state of Nigeria to host and an Outreach titled "Ebenebe Reach Out 2020" with all its members separated in groups to visit four schools in the town and a Roadshow to create awareness. Each of these four schools had about 30 final grade students in attendance, they were taught basics of geophysics and its benefits to society. The program which ran through 8th January to 17th March was also equipped with a 1-day internship program, personal work sessions on interpretation of vertical electric sounding data which had 16 best Active students of the first outreach exercise from all four schools participating. During those periods after the Outreach exercise and internship training, the chapter members visited and revisited the community and schools with a survey team observed and monitored the program's impact, also within those visitation, training exercises were put in place as the best Active participating students trained other students. This led to the creation of 4 active sub-chapter in the participating School. During and after the outreach program, the chapter was able to effect a good percentage reduction in the Dumping of refuse, construction of buildings along waterways and poor drainage system, draw the attention of the government towards the bad Road in the Residence area and the high school student being able to define a career path in the geosciences of which about 30 students from all four schools got interested in the area of Geophysics with the aim of pursuing a career in it. Finally, through the exercises and all the visitations and retraining, four active SEG sub-chapter in all four schools were created, which is being guided by the SEG NAU chapter.

Ludwig (Lui) Wilhelm Blau (9 August 1894 - 9 July 1978) was a German born American geophysicist and geochemist. He was a founding member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the author of the first paper in Geophysics (journal) entitled'Black magic in geophysical prospecting'[1]. According to a 1985 AAPG paper by Martin J. Davidson "The undisputed father of American geochemical prospecting was Dr. Ludwig W. Blau of Humble Oil, now Exxon."[2] Blau received a BA in mathematics from West Texas State in 1925. Blau received an MA in physics from the University of Texas in 1926 and a Phd in physics in 1929 under Professor Arnold Romberg.
