Virginia Sand (November 23, 1928 – February 13, 2007) graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in geology. Sand taught geology at Kent State University for three decades and was named Professor Emeritus of Geology in 1993. She was a longtime member of the Association of Women Geoscientists, a benefactor to the Wilderness Center in Wilmot, Ohio, and a board member of the Buckeye Trail Association. Her contributions to the field of geology were complemented and fueled by a thirst for world travel. == Education ==
Born Virginia Murphy to parents James and Gladys Murphy, Virginia attended high school in Evanston, Illinois. After high school, she earned her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University in May, 1950. As an early female to earn a degree in geology, she received resistance from the department. One professor made deliberate attempts to thwart her studies by sending her repeatedly to the blackboard in an effort to embarrass her, openly admonishing her in front of classmates. While at Northwestern, she was also a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Her formal education was interrupted in the 1950s when she married Martin B. Sand. After relocating to New Philadelphia, Ohio in 1954, the couple opened the Mart Sand Pontiac Dealership, and the business demanded attention. She also gave birth to three daughters, and divided her time between her children, the dealership, and giving Spanish lessons out of her home. It wasn't until the latter part of the 1960s that Sand enrolled at the main campus of Kent State University, earning her Master of Arts Degree in Teaching Earth Science in 1969.
