Undergraduate Geography Club

Undergraduate Geography Club is the main undergraduate club for those with an interest in Geography at Penn State. Our club is open for anyone to join and there are no fees or membership requirements. Our goal is to promote geography-related extracurricular engagement. Some club activities include local hiking expeditions, GIS (geographic information science) learning and volunteer opportunities, visiting the annual Association of American Geographers (AAG) conference, presentations from guest speakers, and much more.

We are actively looking for students with strong leadership skills who are interested in an officer position. Roles with anticipated openings include event planner, GIS chair, and secretary.

Geography Club also offers an honors society, Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) for Geography majors who meet class standing and GPA requirements; please inquire with a club officer for more information.
