Day: October 28, 2018

Geography, Outdoor Rec, and Planning students were active in the New England-St. Lawrence Valley Regional Conference of the American Association of Geographers.  The conference, hosted at Keene State over Friday and Saturday, October 12th and 13th, saw more than 75 geographers from across New England and Quebec meet, present, and share ideas.  KSC GORP students participated in the annual Geography Bowl Competition, and helped staff the registration booth.  Everyone agreed it was a successful conference, and a great preparation for seniors looking forward to attending the national conference in Washington DC next April.
