Geo Graduate Group (GGG)

GGG is an organization aimed at helping geology and geography graduates students. We provide a platform where graduate students can come with issues they are facing and elevate those issues with an official voice. We also create opportunities for graduates in geography and geology to interact with each other, faculty and related professionals. We provide fundraising and community service opportunities to provide additional travel funds for students attending academic conferences and events. Learn more by visiting the Geo Graduate Group on WVU Engage.
