Aaron Harris

March 01, 2023 02:41 PM
Today we’d like to introduce one of our undergraduate students here at the BYU Department of Geological Sciences. Aaron Harris is from Bentonville, Arkansas. Aaron was originally studying to be a mechanical engineer, but after seeing a poster advertising BYU’s Geology program he decided to look into it. As a kid, he loved learning about science in school, but he never saw geology as a real career option. After some research, he decided it would be fun to give geology a try, and he’s been grateful for that decision ever since.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Kristen Briggs


"What I saw unique to geology that I hadn't found in other science courses was how integrative it is, using aspects of math, chemistry, physics, and biology. And that struck a chord with me."
