Geography Bowl, papers, presentations and networking: The makings of a great conference

Over 10 MSU GGP affiliates presented their work.

May 17, 2018 by Tori York

The American Association of Geographers (AAG) hosted their annual conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, April 10-14.

In addition to presenting, networking and learning, several students participated in the Geography Bowl.

Geography Bowl

In October, students qualified for the Geography Bowl at regional AAG conferences.

The West Lakes Division team consisted of five Missouri State students and one other:

  • Hannah Adams, geospatial science graduate student
  • Madeline Behlke-Entwisle, geography undergraduate student
  • Leah Bournival, geospatial science graduate student
  • Dylan King, geospatial science graduate student
  • Joe Nash, geospatial science graduate student
  • Chris Pierce, graduate student from Northern Iowa University

Dr. Bob Pavlowsky, distinguished professor of geography, says the conference is valuable for its presentations and diversity with typically over 10,000 attendees and a large international participation.
