For many of our geography students, a highlight of their degree is their participation in the annual field trip, which has been running since 1970. Below you can find photos from most of these trips.
Though we strive to keep the costs of participation manageable, for some students the field course is too great a cost. We are therefore grateful for a generous gift from Shauneen and Michael Bruder, graduates of the College of Social Science in 1980, which provides $3500 annually to support student participation in the field course.
Samantha Feist graduated in June 2015 with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Physical Science with a Chemistry minor from Guelph. Having started her undergraduate degree as a chemistry student, she did not realize her love for Geography and Earth Science until her second year. She took the Natural Hazards Geography class as an elective in her first year, which eventually helped her realize her true passion.
Assim Sayed Mohammed and Ashley Bastianz - were part of a team that won the Third Annual CivicSpark Case Competition, which was based on the problem of urban greenhouse gas emissions. Both students are in the B.Sc. (Env) program, but credit their win to knowledge they gained from their Geography courses, particularly GEOG 4210 (Environmental Governance).
