Advising is a priority in the Department of Geography. Undergraduate majors receive assistance from both a professional staff adviser and an assigned faculty adviser. Students are strongly encouraged to be active participants in our geography community through co-curricular organizations, research, and department-sponsored speakers and events.
- Undergraduate students in geography can contact, Jodi Vender, who can assist current and prospective students with entry-to-major, scheduling, degree audits, and other academic issues.
- Students whose primary major is geography also have an official faculty adviser; check the Penn State Academic Advising Portal to find your assigned adviser.
- Lorraine Dowler is the Associate Head of Diversity, Equity, and inclusion, and Chris Fowler is the Associate Head of Undergraduate Programs.
