Hey Geographers! Thank you to everyone that came to the weekend getaway, it was a huge success! To everyone that couldn't make it, don't fret, the apartment crawl is coming up next Friday!

1. Coming Soon – The Great Mugration Apartment Crawl

Are you ready for the greatest apartment crawl of the year? Three apartments, ten bucks, and a whole lot of alcohol! The theme is "MUGration", so get your wacky migration themed costumes ready.

2. Field Notes Call for Photo Submissions

Field Notes is looking for a photo to put on the cover of their journal! They will be accepting photo submissions until November 13th, submit your photo and have your work put on the front of every copy of this semester's edition of Field Notes! Submit your photos to journal.fieldnotes@gmail.com.

3. Do your course evaluations

McGill is wanting to remind everyone to do your course evaluations! They help the administration improve courses and make this school the best it can be. Go to Minerva to do yours!

4. Looking for an Undergraduate Research Assistant

Assistance is needed for a human geography project on land rights, conflict, and environmental change. The work would entail extracting data from archival material and their interpretation and entry into a database. Please contact Jon Unruh jon.unruh@mcgill.ca for further information.
