Graduate Student Affinity Group

The Graduate Student Affinity Group (GSAG) is an organization charged with voicing the concerns of geography graduate students and better preparing students for their careers by providing a forum for inter-university communication and professional support. Our group is open to anyone from undergraduate students considering graduate school in geography to full professors who are interested in supporting graduate students. Please take some time to peruse our webpage for information about GSAG sponsored events. Also, please contact the Chair or Vice-Chair about joining the affinity group’s listserv.

If you are new to geography, our parent organization, the American Association of Geographers, provides a wealth of information about careers, areas of study, and educational opportunities related to the discipline.
