Geography Student Union
The Geography Student Union is a welcoming group of students who are enthusiastic about engaging with the community and learning about the world around us. And good news, whether you are completing a major in Geography or just taking a GEOG course, all Geography students are members of the GSU. We regularly host social and academic events, including Experiential Learning Trips to places like Portland, Victoria, Kelowna and this year to the Sunshine Coast! We also tend to our lovely common room (RCB 6102), which is free for all members to use. Please visit tinyurl.com/rcb6102 for the room code.
We hope to see you in meetings (on Zoom or in-person), at our events, and in classes. You can follow us on social media using the links below or drop us an email at geog-pres@sfu.ca to learn more and get involved.
Thank you for being part of the SFU Geography community! We look forward to connecting with you soon.
