The Friday Lunch Clubbe is an organization of ex-NAU Geology
grad students. Our mission is to support current graduate students in the
department. We do this primarily by sponsoring a yearly grant program to
provide financial assistance to current graduate students for their summer
field research and occasionally offering financial assistance for field trips,
and yearly social events.
