Meet a Geographer Monday #1

Have you mapped today?

The OGSR Library will be hosting its 2nd annual GIS Open House on November 17th from 10 AM – 3 PM. The day will consist of interactive displays, activities, GIS demonstrations/tutorials and a complimentary pizza lunch!

There will be door prizes and giveaways at the event, taking place at 669 Exeter Road, London Ontario.

Exhibitors include the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Thames Valley Conservation Authority, Western University and more!

If you have any questions about the event contact info@ogsrlibrary.com

We are looking forward to seeing everyone together as a GIS community, and the wealth of knowledge that will be on display for the promotion of Geography!

 

Our upcoming meeting is on Wednesday, September 27th at 11.30.

If you are leading, or a member of, one of the committee’s, this is your opportunity to check-in about what has been happening and upcoming events. If you are not on a committee, but would like to be, then we encourage you to attend. For a list of opportunities to get involved, browse the links on this website or contact Kate (kate.schieman@gmail.com) or Merlin (mchatwin@uwo.ca). We still need a number of people on committees and there are plenty of different opportunities that range in time commitment required.

This invitation is for all graduate students in Geography. Food is provided.

Invitation to all graduate students

Join a committee (or more) in our GeoGrads society!

It’s an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow graduate students in the department and to polish leadership and organizational skills to benefit our own community. The position you hold will look great in your CV, too.

The committees are:

• Graduate Affairs (GAC)
• Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA)
• International Students
• Research Committee
• Social Committee
• Society of Graduate Students (SOGS)
• Speaker Series
• Wellness and Sustainability Committee

GeoGrads will provide information regarding the role of each committee during orientation time in the beginning of the Fall Term 2017. You may find the committees’ current news and updates under the menu Committee Updates.

There is a lot of spots available for everyone to get involved with. Please contact the GeoGrads Co-Presidents Kate (kate.schieman@gmail.com) or Merlin (mchatwin@uwo.ca) to sign up or to get more information.

Everyone is invited!
