RON BREITMEYER
Hydrogeology major
Im an outdoors person; hiking, shing, and playing golf. Hydrogeology is my major because Ive always been interested in earth science and am concerned about the earths groundwater. After graduating from Sparks High School, I came to Mackay because of its excellent reputation in earth science education, great scholarship opportunities, and closeknit community of faculty, sta and students. I like to get involved and have been the President of the Mackay Mentors Club, a member of the Geoscience Club, and the Nevada Geological Society. I was on the Deans List and I had an on-going, paid internship with Washoe County Department of Water Resources, where I got to apply what learned in classes. I had a great time in Summer Field Camp, getting hands-on experience with the geology between SW Utah and the California coast. My education in hydrogeology, including computer-based projects and eldwork enabled me to get into a graduate hydrology program. Even without a graduate degree, Im qualied for an interesting and wellpaid, entry-level job as a hydrogeologist.
