Geography Club

 
   
 

What is the Geography Club?

The Geography Club is a body of faculty and students who come together with a shared interest in the world about them. We come from all different disciplines (geography, history, education, sociology, economics, tourism, business, etc.) and believe that by engaging in geographical thought, we gain insight into our chosen disciplines. It's not just about maps!


What kinds of things does the Geography Club do?

Our main goal in the Geography Club is to bring awareness to the importance of geography as a discipline and to the importance of discovering our world. This is accomplished in a myriad of ways: club meetings, field trips, tutoring programs, local and regional conferences, and encouraging travel as the best way to learn about our world and ourselves, sharing our experiences and inviting speakers to share theirs. In addition, the club is building an employment opportunity database for our graduates.


Do I have to give time--am I required to "volunteer"?

Simply, no. We invite you to join us for any meeting or event we offer. There is no requirement to volunteer your services.
