What Is It?

In soil judging, our team competes against other universities by describing a number of soil pits.  We look at soil properties such as depth, texture, color, grade, parent material, and many others.  Your interpretation is then scored against that of a professional soil scientist.  Each year the competition is held at different locations throughout the United States.

Who Is In Charge Of Our Chapter's Team?

Our coach is Dr. Steve Levine.  He helps students lead practices that usually start a month or more before competition.  It's a great way to meet people and network, gain valuable experience, travel, and have a great time.
