Modern Contaminant Hydrology, Course Two 14-15 APR 2025 at VASSAR COLLEGE

POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK.   We produce training events solely for skill development and knowledge transfer.   The CEUs are just a secondary perk.   

And when participants want to join the event for the sake of advancing their career, boosting project performance, or simply learning about technical updates, it makes our day.   It feels like "Mission Accomplished".  

One thing we've learned from years from producing courses is, experts are usually the ones who attend and sometimes the people who critically need these technical updates don't attend.   I can't explain the reason why, but I can attest that the people who generally attend our training events are already experts.  The discussions, the shared insights, and questions are brilliantly thoughtful and this course was no exception.  

I tip my hat to each participant.

Thank you for your professionalism and for taking the time to share your insights during the course with everyone.  It's a Blessing to everyone in attendance, especially me.  

Here's some photos from Course #2 on April 14-15, 2025 at Vassar College.



















































Modern Contaminant Hydrology, Course One 10-11 APR 2025 at VASSAR COLLEGE

POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK.   Modern Contaminant Hydrology 2-day Course #1 reached maximum capacity after 3 weeks of open registration.   That was the fastest sell-out in MidwestGeo history.

But that's not what made this course memorable.

And Tom Sale's and Joe Scalia's book Modern Subsurface Contaminant Hydrology is in the final final review poised for release within a week or two.

And that is not what made this course so memorable.

The collaborative partnership with the New York State Council of Professional Geologists NYSCPG was a privilege for us.

And even that wasn't what made the course so memorable.

What made this course so memorable was the participants.  Thoughtful, expert, and professional.  Wow, it was easily one of the most memorable courses based on the interactions and conversations occurring both during the course coupled with between course modules.  It gives me joy and inspiration to be surrounded with people who are so brilliant and personal.  Thank you to each and every participant.
