Visiting Geographical Scientist Program Accepting Applications for 2012-13
December 12, 2012
The Visiting Geographical Scientist program (VGSP) is accepting applications for the 2012-13 academic year. VGSP sponsors visits by prominent geographers to small departments or institutions that do not have the resources to bring in well-known speakers. The purpose of this program is to stimulate interest in geography, targeted for students, faculty members, administrative officers, and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). Participating institutions select and make arrangements with the visiting geographer. Applications and program details may be found here.
A list of pre-approved speakers is also available on the website. Please make sure to include a brief cover letter with your application that describes the objective(s) of the visit and the schedule of events or activities being planned.
VGSP is funded by Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU), the international honors society for geographers. Questions may be directed to Niem Huynh.
