The Geo-Institute (G-I) of the American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a specialty organization focused on the
geo–industry. It was created by ASCE in 1996 and it aims to enhance the
geo-professional's career development through technology transfer, networking
and coalition-building, and leadership on emerging issues. Nowadays, it
represents more than 10,000 individual members (engineers, scientists, technologists,
and others) and over 35 Organizational Members, and it serves as the USA
member society of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and
Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
The Geo-Institute Graduate
Student Organization (GSO) at Purdue University was founded in May 2006, in
keeping with the long drawn history and tradition of geotechnical engineering
at Purdue University. The GSO aims at being a portal for students to
gain access to the most up-to-date knowledge of practice and cutting edge
research in the field of geo-engineering. It also strives to be a platform
for exchange and dissemination of knowledge and to work as a link between the
industry, the academia, and the students. Currently, the GSO is engaged in
promoting and organizing various educational, professional, and social
activities that are beneficial to the geotechnical community at Purdue University.
