A REALLY COOL THING I FOUND ON STUMBLEUPON
Hey Geographers! Sorry for the late update. It was my birthday yesterday and I think I got too caught up in the festivities to send an email. My bad.
NEW MUGS MEMBERS
First of all a big shout-out to our new U1 Representatives, Brendan Buchanan Dee and Alyssa Krantzberg, and our new Sustainability Officers, Rebecca Rosenthal, Alex Shiri and Peter Sinnott! Woohoo! We're so happy to have such a big team this year. It's going to mean lots of FANTASTIC events coming up so keep checking your listservs.
VISION 2020 SUSTAINABILITY FAIR – TODAY
Today on Lower Field there will be a sustainability fair headlined by Vision 2020. The fair itself will be a country-style event –Including a cow!—and therefore should not be missed. It will be from 1-4pm

A REALLY COOL THING – ACTUALLY GEOGRAPHY RELATED THIS TIME
I found a map which has beautiful photos from all around the world! It's not perfect – there's a picture of the London Eye in the China link, though maybe the uploader had an IP address in China or something, but some of these photos are stunning.
Have a great weekend everyone!
