The UVM Geography Club

GEOGRAPHY CLUB MISSION

MISSION:

The UVM Geography Club will provide advice to, camaraderie between, and an academic outlet outside the classroom for students at UVM who are interested in geography as a discipline, a career, or to heighten their own knowledge. The Club will extend our efforts geographically and academically to provide to the UVM community a better sense and understanding of Geography as a discipline and the importance which geography has played throughout history, since the dawn of time. The Club was founded with these intentions in mind.

"Geography is a representation of the whole known world together with the phenomena which are contained therein."
-Ptolemy, Geographia

GOALS:

(taken from Article II Section B of the constitution.)
1.) Increase Student involvement in departmental activities and concerns.
2.) Provide counseling for those interested in either furthering their geographic studies or initially engaging the field of geography.
3.) Increase recognition and camaraderie amongst geography undergraduates.
4.) Enhance and highlight the unique geographical experiences of UVM, Burlington, Vermont, and the surrounding region.

SGA RECOGNITION:

The fact that everything is related to its geography underlines the importance of geography as a discipline. By recognizing the UVM Geography Club, the SGA helps promote the study of geography on the UVM campus and in the Burlington area. This would happen through expanding the club's ability to bring speakers on campus, travel to Geography conferences, encouraging camaraderie between geography majors and minors, and extend the Geography Department's knowledge and learning to the campus at large out side of the classroom.
