The Geography Students' Association (GSA) is one of the most active student associations on campus. We will continue the GSA tradition of hosting various social and academic events throughout the year including interactive lunchtime meetings with the Department Head, professors and students; bzzr gardens; field trips; social outings; publishing the undergraduate journal Trail Six, and celebrating the end of year with the GeoGala. This year the GSA introduced a Sustainability Committee , which has already received a very enthusiastic response. The committee will connect students interested in sustainability, as well as promote and initiate projects that fall under the ‘sustainable umbrella’ within the Geography, UBC, and broader Vancouver community. The Sustainability Committee aims to collaborate with university and community partners on new initiatives and spreading the word on economic, ecological, and social sustainability within and outside the GSA. This year we hope to bring an increased ‘sustainable community’ perspective to the GSA, and are currently in the midst of planning projects such as a Geography student community garden, lunchtime events with representatives from like-minded community and UBC organizations such as Sprouts and Sustainable Cities International, and panel discussions on compelling geography related issues.
