Geography Club

The Geography Club is a student organization at Michigan State University that welcomes all students who are interested in the geography of our world and how human communities interact with the environment.

Being a Michigan State University student, faculty, or staff member is part of the requirement. Having an interest in community service and an interest in having fun are also prerequisites. Whatever your major or minor may be, you benefit from Geography. You would also benefit from being a part of the Geo Club. People who are considering becoming part of GTU are encouraged to join the Geo Club first.

Are you interested in joining? Contact the Club at <geoclub@msu.edu>.
