**ATTENTION**

This semester students enrolled in GG102 'Introduction to Human Geography' have been participating in a field work series in small groups in their lab sections. The field work series has involved them examining 3 field sites through a geographic lens including the WLU campus, the Northdale Neighbourhood and Downtown Kitchener's Innovation District.

During Nov 21 -24 lab sections will present their research on creatively designed display boards that will beshowcased in the Geography Map Library (see schedule below). Michael Imort and I would like to encourage you to stop by, if and when you are able, to view the posters and ask questions of the students and their research. You could also use this as a teaching/learning opportunity – if you have a class you want to bring by, please do.

Thanks for your support of our students in advance,
