SAVE THE DATE: Return of the Jedi GES Alumni and Student Event
October 9 at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
Join the CSUN Department of Geography and Environmental Studies (GES) for a two-day celebration bringing together Geography alumni, students, faculty, and friends of the program!
Reconnect with the GES community, discover what today’s students are exploring, and hear where a Geography education has taken our alumni. Through career conversations, student research, program updates, hands-on geospatial work, and opportunities to connect, the symposium will showcase the many ways geographic knowledge and geospatial technologies are making an impact—from campus to communities and careers.
Whether you’re returning to CSUN, currently part of the program, or simply interested in the work happening in GES, we invite you to come learn, connect, and celebrate the Geography community.
