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 an Officer
or advisor listed below.
