Geographers find their compass at ONU conference
 
Approximately 100 geographers from colleges and universities in Ohio and Michigan will turn their compasses to an upcoming conference at Ohio Northern University on Thursday, Oct. 19, in McIntosh Center.

The association includes approximately 30 colleges and universities from Ohio and Michigan. ONU faculty members Katy Rossiter and Jimmy Wilson are coordinating the event.

Geography is everywhere, from the recent hurricanes to algae blooms in Lake Erie to gentrification in urban areas. Geographers can effectively make predications and understand patterns that help answer important questions about the world.
