Good Afternoon Geographers and Sustainers – The AAG is hosting a virtual career event later this month. For those of you not familiar with AAG, this organization has international membership and covers every possible research interest related to geography and sustainability. You need to be either an AAG member or registered for the AAG conference to attend. Rather than just speaking with employers, it also looks like they’ve got some great tracts on topics like working internationally, career mentoring, and more. See the full list at the bottom of this email.
