Student Organizations

Geography Club

Carthage's Geography Club is a notably vibrant and active student club on campus. The club not only represents an energetic cohort of geography majors and minors; it also promotes a wider awareness of geography and geographic diversity among the general student body. The club organizes events to commemorate Geography Awareness Week, including demonstrations and GPS "treasure hunting" for GIS Day. The Geography Club also hosts camping and geocaching trips, in addition to field trips to the Milwaukee urban area, Chicago Chinatown and other destinations. The club meets weekly to plan activities, share J-Term travel experiences and play geography games.

The Geography Club regularly hosts a Friday Family Fun Night event in Hedberg Library and enjoys an exceptionally high turnout from the community. Past events have included tree-ring and rock demonstrations, a geography bee, and geocaching so children of various ages gain a wider awareness of geography.
