UD faculty and staff spread geography awareness throughout Delaware
Geography is an exciting, interdisciplinary field that uses cutting-edge technology to explore places and the relationships that people have with the environment that surrounds them. For people unfamiliar with the field, however, the topic may mean nothing more than looking at a map.
During the fall of 2022, faculty members and staff from the University of Delaware’s Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences and the Delaware Center for Geographic Education engaged in outreach programs at local middle schools and hosted competitions to raise awareness about the power of geography as well as possible career opportunities that could be attained through the field.
