FOSSILS exhibit at TREC

Everyone had a great time viewing films on the IMAX screen and getting a special VIP tour from Professor Scott  Mc Kenzie who is a Mercyhurst faculty member,  curator of the Fossils exhibit and  special friend of Mercyhurst's Asperger Initiative  (AIM).  He was assisted by one of AIM's sophomores, Patrick who at age 19 is co-authoring a research article with members of Mercyhurst's geology department.   

Students were permitted to choose from three different IMAX films including Beavers, Mysteries of the Great Lakes and Wild Ocean.  After the trip to TREC (Tom Ridge Environmental Center), everyone had dinner at Eat 'n Park.  Then back to the college to complete the three (yes, you read that correctly) papers that are due this week!!!

Special thanks to Kristi for her photography!!!
