What: ERT Alumni Field Trip
When: 26 September, 2026
9:00 a.m. in the Hochstetter A parking lot
Return time depends on whether you want to get back for the football game.
Event Description: Enjoy the nostalgia of a geology field trip! We’ll meet in the Hochstetter A parking lot and pile into ERT’s vans. We’ll head to Niagara Falls to find out what you remember about local geology. After a few stops in Lockport—including a stop for lunch—we’ll go to one of the many wineries in the region for a wine tasting before returning you back to UB. We’ll cover the transportation costs; you’ll need to provide money for lunch and the wine tasting (typically $10).
There is some flexibility in the return schedule: we can return you to UB in time for the football game if you’d like.
