On June 15th, outside Ellison Hall in our courtyard, the Department of Geography held it’s annual Geography Graduation Reception, from 3:30-5:30pm. Student’s families and friends were all welcome! We awarded a group of students with various awards, and after, enjoyed a reception full of laughter, excitement and photos documenting the celebratory weekend.

We would like to acknowledge and thank a few students who have gone above and beyond, awarding Briant Fabela, Jason Granados, and Riley Anderson with the Outstanding Service to the Geography Department Award. These students provided leadership as officers of the Geography Club, dedicated to increasing Geography’s presence on campus.
