EXPLORE GEOGRAPHY AT WESTERN
DID YOU KNOW?
Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography uniquely bridges the social sciences with the natural sciences.
The Geography program at Western was established in 1938, by Dr. Edward G. Pleva.
