Hello to All Undergraduates,
Happy Martin Luther King day to you. This is your Club Geography President, for the Spring Term('13), Dakota Anderson. I hope everyone's semester is starting out smooth. There are a few things I wanted to address in this email:
[1] Remember that on the date Feb. 7th, the Geography Department is hosting a Departmental Meet and Greet for all Undergraduates. Events such as these are essential if you want professors to know you are serious about your work. It is a good opportunity to meet professors, shake hands, and allow them to remember your face. Once you graduate it will be nice knowing you have become close with some of the professors in your Department. (ironically) I would also like to apologize, as I will not be able to attend due to a class during that time.
What: Geography Department Meet and Greet
Date: Thursday, Feb.7th
Where: BGB room 301
Time: 3:40pm
[2] Club Geography would like to host a small hiking trip! We are proposing the weekend of that meet and greet. So the trip could be on either Sat(Feb. 9th) or Sun(Feb 10th). The location we are considering is Ijams(10 min. away). They have small to medium size trails we could hike during the day. We will have an official date, and time hopefully by next week. I would also like to extend this hiking trip out to any other personnel in the Department, that wishes to join as well!
What: Club Geography Hiking Trip
Date: (tentative) Feb 9th, or 10th
Where: Ijams Nature Center
Time: (tentative) mid-day
[3] The Geography Department will soon be hosting a symposium! The official dates for this are Feb. 21-22. In this specific symposium there is a very exciting Undergraduate Poster Competition. The theme thus far for the symposium is: "Mapping Outside the Lines: Geography as a Nexus for Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Research". I would strongly encourage all undergraduates to consider entering in this competition. Posters presentations at symposiums, are a great way to get your name out there, let the department know your serious, and show off your wits right next to other great minds!
What: Symposium Undergraduate Poster Competition
Date: Feb 21-22
Where: BGB
Time: All day
Thanks to all for enduring this long email! If you have any questions/concerns relating to Club Geography, please do not hesitate to email me. Also, If you would like to know more about Club Geography, and events please feel free to contact- Professor Kalafsky (faculty overseer of Club Geography). For any questions concerning the symposium the graduate assistant, Matthew Kerr is the main contact.
Thank you,
Dakota Anderson
