Geography Graduate Society

About GGS

Welcome to the McGill Geography Graduate Society! On this website, you will find contact information, planned activities, and information for prospective and current graduate students in the Department of Geography, McGill University.

The purpose of the GGS is to serve as the collective voice of the graduate students of McGill University’s Department of Geography and create a more unified and collegial community for those who constitute its membership. To those aims, the GGS will offer resources, help, and support to all current students in the department of geography and will promote and organize intellectual and social exchanges amongst its membership, and in some circumstances, department faculty. The GGS will represent and advocate for the diverse graduate student body and will strive for representative diversity on the GGS executive.
