SLU Professor named President of national earth science honor society

Posted

CANTON—St. Lawrence University's Associate Professor of Geology Alexander Stewart was recently elected the National President of the Earth Sciences Honorary Society Sigma Gamma Epsilon at its 47th national convention in Moline, Illinois.

Founded in 1915 at the University of Kansas, SGE promotes academic excellence and professional development in the geosciences. Since 2010, Stewart has advised the Eta Xi chapter of SGE at St. Lawrence.

Stewart is a U.S. Army veteran of the Cold War and three foreign wars. His experiences in the Army in Alaska directed his interests to obtain a PhD in glacial geology and be a glacial geology/geomorphology professor from eastern Kentucky to western Texas and north to St. Lawrence University.

As National President, Stewart aims to help reactivate dormant chapters of the honorary society, establish new chapters, and enhance the society's visibility through better communication and digital outreach.
