MUGS Logo Contest, Apartment Crawl is Coming, Sustainable McGill Meeting, AUS Graduate and Professional Schools Expo, SUS Career and Graduate Education Fair

GEOGRAPHY LOGO CONTEST
  In the spirit of keeping things interesting, MUGS would like to solicit submission for a new Geography logo! If you recall, the most recent logo had the words "McGill Geography", sandwiched by a city-scape on the top, and a forest scene on the bottom. Can you think of something better? If so, it might end up on Geography apparel this year!

The only requirement for the design is that it must incorporate the words "McGill Geography" in some capacity, and must be sized to fit on the front of a t-shirt. Please scan and submit submissions by email to mcgillgeography@gmail.com by SUNDAY OCTOBER 28th at midnight.
