BSU will be well represented at one of the world's greatest geography meetings in March of 2025, when the American Association of Geographers holds its annual meeting in Detroit. See the BSU @ Detroit AAG post for details about the research we are presenting.
Professors and students will be presenting on a variety of topics, from community change in Detroit itself to climate change in Peru.

Fortunately, students from many majors who are participating in our second-year honors colloquium on Detroit are helping to prepare the travelers. The course is entitled Detroit: Arts City, exploring the role of the arts in the redevelopment of a city that had famously been in decline over the past half-century.
Commonwealth Honors students have begun to identify places that the geographers might wish to visit during the conference. The emphasis is on arts, food, and locally-owned businesses. The students are, of course, making a map!
This map will be the focus of a joint meeting of the traveling students (mostly majors) and the honors students (mostly not majors, at least not yet!).
