Students, Faculty, and Staff Honored at Annual Geographical Sciences Awards Ceremony
The Department of Geographical Sciences gathered to celebrate, virtually, the Annual Geographical Sciences Awards Ceremony on May 13th, 2020. While the ceremony looked a bit different this year, the Zoom celebration, coordinated by Erin Jacobs and Amanda Hoffman-Hall, honored over 100 faculty, staff, and students for everything from achieving academic milestones, to earning prestigious fellowships, to being awarded national and regional honors. Additionally, the Department presented over 30 of our own awards. Departmental Award Winners are listed below. Congratulations to all honorees!
