About GeoRox
GeoRox is an academic, professional and social, student-run society within the
Geological Engineering undergraduate program at the University of British
Columbia. We provide valuable opportunities to our members which help
supplement their academic careers.
Moreover, we always aim to create a welcoming environment that supports
students in their academic, professional and social development throughout
their Geological Engineering degree. GeoRox involvement has consistently
resulted in lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.
The contents of this package include an overview of our key events. These
include the Alumni & Industry Dinner, Geotechnical Engineering Competition
(GEC) and Distinguished Lecture. Our events are often held in combination
with faculty, industry, professional associations and other student
organizations. The objectives of these events are to accommodate students
building professional networks, establishing relationships with their peers
and gaining technical knowledge.
With the generous support from industry, GeoRox is able to foster a
memorable and distinct university experience for our members. Your
continued contributions over time has helped stimulate quality in the UBC
Geological Engineering program. We invite you to read about some of our
events that industry sponsorship helps support.

Message from the Director
4
As we prepare to build on our 100 years of UBC Geological Engineering, I
would like to thank our friends, colleagues, and industry partners for their
support in helping to make UBC Geological Engineering one of the top
programs of its kind. Vancouver is a key international centre for the
geotechnical, mining, and energy resource sectors, and engaging industry
helps to expose our 175+ students to the remarkable projects being carried
out by local companies and the career opportunities that await them when
they graduate.
GeoRox – the student club of the UBC Geological Engineering program - is one
of the most active student clubs on campus and plays a pivotal role in
enriching the student experience by organizing professional outreach events,
such as the annual Alumni Dinner and Distinguished Geological Engineering
Lecture, as well as design competitions and field trips where students can
escape the classroom and be exposed to the
working environment. It is for this reason that
our program enthusiastically supports
GeoRox in their activities, and we encourage
and thank our industry partners for doing so
as well.
Thank you,
Prof. Erik Eberhardt, P.Eng.
Director, UBC Geological Engineering

Each year, the UBC Geological Engineering Club (GeoRox) assembles a wide
variety of events for our students to enjoy and participate in. Our club has had
a long history of educational and professional development as well as
engaging in numerous extra-curricular activities. Our great team of executives
and elected reps organise a range of events including educational field trips,
peer mentorship, course study sessions, our annual Geotechnical Engineering
Competition, and our annual Alumni and Industry Dinner.
Without the continuous and generous support from our alumni and industry
sponsors, we would not be able to put on these great events. With
sponsorship, we can flourish as a club and start new club initiatives for
members and others in the community. The 2018-19 sponsorship package
outlines the events and sponsorship opportunities that we offer. As always,
thank for your support and we look forward to seeing you at our future
events!

Our goal is to continue to improve GeoRox offerings each year. Our most
significant limitation to maintaining and developing extra curricular
activities remains funding. As demonstrated in the budget breakdown
below, we rely on the continued generous support of industry members to
overcome the sponsorship hurdle. Your support allows GeoRox to provide
personal and professional development opportunities that benefit the next
generation of industry members.

Alumni & Industry Dinner
January, 2019

The Alumni & Industry Dinner is held annually and is the largest event hosted by GeoRox.
Held in January, GeoRox invites all current students, faculty, alumni and applicable
industry members to gather for an evening including a formal dinner and presentations
from GeoRox, faculty and honored alumni. This dinner allows us to honor the
achievements of outstanding GeoRox alumni and facilitate networking between students
and professionals. Thanks to continued strong engagement from student and industry,
the event has grown over time with over 100 attendees in recent years. With your
continued strong support, we aim to continue this tradition with another successful
dinner in January.

Geotechnical Engineering Competition
March, 2019
The annually held Geotechnical Engineering Competition (GEC) is a one-day engineering
design competition between teams of students from various academic years. A design
problem is provided by either our faculty, or an industry sponsor. Teams are given 6
hours to solve the problem and then present to a panel including faculty and industry
representatives. The GEC is unique since students have the chance to combine their
academic knowledge with problem solving skills to tackle a real world based challenge.
As teams are comprised of students representing various academic years, the GEC allows
for team management opportunities for senior students and design experience for junior
students. Your contribution will allow us to continue to develop this exciting event.

Distinguished Lecture
March, 2019
Each year, UBC GeoRox co-hosts a special evening lecture with the Vancouver
Geotechnical Society. Here, students, faculty and industry members gather to attend a
lecture given by an honored guest. The lecture is based on Geological Engineering topics
and has included subjects such as hydrogeology, dam foundations, geomorphology and
debris flow hazards. Recent Distinguished lecturers include Leslie Smith, Oldrich Hungr,
Richard Goodman and Suzanne Lacasse. This event presents an opportunity for all
attendees to learn about a specialized topic within Geological Engineering and for
students to network with local geotechnical professionals. Your support will help us
attract high profile speakers to UBC and to continue hosting this popular event.

Field Trips
October, 2018 & February, 2019
Geological Engineering entails heavy emphasis on the field; our field trips are designed to
provide students with opportunities to visit various sites and learn outside of the
classroom. Every year GeoRox hosts two field trips to project sites, geological landforms,
or other locales related to Geological Engineering. Notable trips include tours of
Geohazards along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, Copper Mountain Mine and the Upper Lillooet
Hydro Project. These trips represent a valuable bonding experience for the close-knit
GeoRox community and also facilitate professional development. For many, this trips
represent their first exposure to geological engineering in action. Students of all years
attend this event and sponsors are always welcome to join in to support our learning.
