Student Leadership Symposium

IMAGE ’24 will be held in Houston, Texas, USA 25–30 August 2024. Students awarded the SLS travel grant will receive airfare, lodging, per diem, and registration to the 2024 International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy (IMAGE) to be held in Houston, Texas, USA from 25–30 August 2024. Prior to the start of IMAGE, awardees will attend virtual workshops to meet one another and enhance their communication skills. They will also have the opportunity to meet the Chevron staff that will be at the SLS Workshop. During the Symposium, the attendees will have the chance to showcase their Student Chapter’s activities, events, and accomplishments from the previous year during the Poster Session.

All active chapters are encouraged to nominate one member to apply for this great learning experience. It is expected that awardees will take what they have learned from the event and share with the chapter.
