ROUND I 2013 STUDENT CHAPTER FUNDING PROPOSAL
Submission Deadline is April 30, 2013!
SEG Stewart R. Wallace Fund Student Chapter Support Available
Student chapter funding support is available from the SEG Stewart R. Wallace Fund. Wallace,
who served as the SEG President in 1992, is well known in the exploration community, especially
for his role in the discovery of molybdenum at what became the Climax and Henderson mines.
Active student chapters may submit requests for funding of field-based educational activities.
The application can be found at:
www.segweb.org/pdf/forms/Student-Chapter-Funding-Guidelines-Form.pdf.
Please note that in order for your application to be accepted, your SEG Student Chapter:
must be active;
must have submitted an Annual Report by the September 30, 2012, deadline;
must have submitted an updated Student Chapter Membership Information Form with the
Annual Report;
must meet ALL other eligibility requirements as outlined in the Student Chapter Guidelines.
Applications that are organized and detailed may be successful in receiving as much as
US$1,500.00 (possibly more, for exceptional applications). The 2012 budget brings an increase in
available funds for those student chapters submitting successful applications. We encourage all
chapters to seriously consider the assessment criteria used by the Student Affairs Committee in
planning your activities to ensure the best chance of receiving the highest level of funding. The
assessment criteria are clearly stated on the Student Chapter Funding Form.
Visit: www.segweb.org/StudentChapterGuidelines for more details.
Contact studentprograms@segweb.org with any questions and

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
SEG Foundation Student-Dedicated Field Trip
PRECIOUS METALS DEPOSITS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN US
May 12–18, 2013
Field Trip Leaders:
Dr. William X. Chávez, Jr., New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
Dr. Erich U. Petersen, University of Utah
No. 11 in the SEG Foundation-sponsored series of student field trips will examine a variety of epithermal gold occurrence
types in different geologic settings, from southwestern Arizona to northern Nevada. Deposit types to be visited include
detachment and volcanic hosted, and both low- and high-sulfidation systems in open-pit and underground exposures.
Travel will be via charter motor coach (the SEG “mobile classroom”), to facilitate interaction between student and professional
participants and the field trip leaders.
This field trip is open to economic geology students worldwide—student participation is limited to 16 students. Selection is
very competitive with strong preference given to SEG student members. The Student Application Form and instructions
will be available in due course at www.segweb.org/StudentFieldTripProgram.
There is space for a maximum of four professional mentors to participate in, and contribute to, the field trip; those interested
should contact Borden Putnam, Chair of the SEGF Field Trip Program, for further information: bputnam@mionecapital.com.
General inquiries can be directed to: studentprograms@segweb.org.
A detailed itinerary will be posted on the SEG website soon.
Application Deadline: March 10, 2013
