presidentSecretaryHi, I’m Megan a second year BSc Geographer at Mary’s! I’m your DUGS Secretary for 2017-18 meaning I will organise guest speakers throughout Michaelmas and Epiphany term. These will be a mix of academics, high-profile geographers and career-focused talks. I look forward to seeing lots of you there as it is a great way to broaden your geographic interests and hear about current issues or new research. |
Vice-Presidents Hi everyone! Welcome to the exciting world of Geography at Durham! We are Sadie and Havi, both second years at St Mary’s, studying BSc and MA Geography. We are really excited to be Vice Presidents of the Durham University Geography Society (DUGS) this year, and are hoping to build on the success that DUGS has attained over the last couple of years. Our main aim this year as VPs is to help make the life of a Geography student as engaging and as enriching as possible, and to do our part as Geographers in making a difference to the community. We are also keen to build a strong network between the faculty and students of all years. In the past, DUGS has been involved with a variety of events, ranging from Geography pub quizzes and documentary evenings, to guest speaker evenings. For the upcoming year, we are hoping to set up a Geography film night followed by a Q&A with members of the geography department, alongside working to link DUGS to some of the wider sustainability projects being run by the university, such as food recycling. So go right ahead and sign up, and feel free to email us if you have any queries or additional ideas for the society! |
