Undergraduate Geography Club
The UW Geography Club brings together undergraduates in geography in an informal setting. Through Club activities and social networks, undergraduates see how geography plays a major role in the lives of everyone and how geography can lead to a rewarding career.
The Geography Club does a mix of social, academic, and volunteer activities - usually but not always involving geography - and is focused on undergraduate issues. Primarily, the Club is a place for geographically like-minded folks to talk and get to know one another!

UW Geography Club meets in the Undergraduate Loft, located in Room 480A of Science Hall. This is a space for students to gather, check email, have a cup of coffee, and organize student activites. The Commons is maintained by the Geography Club, which will uses the space in part to sell coffee, t-shirts, and bottles to raise funds for Geography Club activities and events.
