Hello Graduating Students!

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! If you want to make your graduation experience more special, the Geography Department has an exciting opportunity for you all!

For the first time in recent history, the department is going to select a student speaker to give a speech for the Geographical Sciences/ Anthropology Commencement Ceremony on May 20, 2017. This opportunity is open to all students participating in the commencement! If you want a chance to reflect on your experience these past few years with all of your peers, consider applying for this opportunity!

Applications are due by April 14 and can be accessed by clicking here.

There is not a set format for your speech, so you're free to craft it as you like! We'd love to hear about your fond memories and accomplishments with the department or at UMD, in general.

A basic template you could use to outline your speech could go as follows:

Federal/ Global Fellows Program Applications due Apr 7!

Think a career in public service is only for government and politics majors? Think again! Federal agencies, nonprofits/NGO’s, think tanks, and policy-related organizations are interested in your scientific expertise as they confront pressing issues in science, technology, healthcare, cyber-security, and sustainability. The Global Fellows and Federal Fellows Programs offer you a chance to take your skills out of the classroom and apply them in the real world. You can earn Scholarship in Practice credit and a Fellows Program notation on your transcript if you decide to do these programs!

Both programs combine a fall seminar in an issue area with a Spring internship in Washington D.C. Some of our concentrations include Science Diplomacy, Energy and Environment, Responses to Global Challenges, and Homeland Security Policy. 

Past internship locations include: National Institutes of Health; Department of Energy; Genetic Alliance; House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology; Aerospace Industries Association; Department of State; Bureau of Oceans, Environment & Science; White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; and Department of Homeland Security.

Year-round activities include trips to Capitol Hill and federal agencies, professional development workshops, and conversations with policymakers.

Attention BSOS Students!

Do you want to gain leadership experience while also being able to voice important matters that could better the undergraduate experience? If so, please consider applying for the BSOS Dean's Student Advisory Council (DSAC)!

The DSAC influences decisions made at the college-level, like how certain budgets are allocated, and we would love to have our department's opinions and concerns brought the discussion. More information on the BSOS DSAC can be found here.

Applications for the 2017-18 school year are being accepting now! The application deadline is April 10, click here for the application form.

We hope to see some GEOG students on the Advisory Council next year! Good Luck!
