Celebrate Geography Awareness Week by meeting a geographer!
What does a geographer do? How does their work impact places and people? Participants will hear about real-world applications of geographic knowledge, learn how geographers make a difference in their communities and beyond, and explore future professional opportunities. Whether you’re a student majoring in the discipline or are interested in what the possibilities are, this session is intended for anyone curious about the careers and opportunities available to geographers.
