10 Geographers in the Field, continued Recruiting Events On Wednesday October 11, Thomas LaVanchy, Jean Wang, and Jon Comer represented the department at OSU Up Close, an annual recruiting event at Gallagher-Iba Arena for high school seniors (and their parents). Our new drone was of great interest to the students, and Pistol Pete paid a visit. On Wednesday, October 18, Brad Bays, Don Colley, and Jon Comer staffed the Geography table at the annual OSU Majors and Minors Fair in the SU Ballroom. Current freshmen were the clientele at this browsing event, where they learned about the department’s majors, minors, and certificate programs. MS student Melissa Wynn also helped out during most of the 3-hour event, with other grads and faculty stopping by as well. Freshman Reception On September 5, the Geography Department collaborated with Sociology and Communication Sciences & Disorders to offer a departmental reception. This come and go event was designed for students in A&S 1111 (Freshman Orientation) to learn about departments and majors in the college. Students played trivia bingo for door prizes, there was a karaoke machine (that no one was brave enough to do!), and pizza and drinks to feed the students. Several departmental faculty and staff participated in the event.
