Home
The Georgia College Geographic Research Commons, hosted in the Department of History & Geography, is dedicated to improving the lives of our students, staff, faculty, and community by promoting sound geographic research and education. We are engaged in a wide variety of research and outreach activities, primarily on campus or in the local community. Our goal is to engage our students in active learning and at the same time help promote the responsible development of our campus, town, and community. As a result, we hope to prepare our students for successful careers in a variety of geographic careers.
