Carleton University Geography & Environmental Studies
Student Association
Meet The Team
CUGESA is all about meeting other students within the Geography, Geomatics, and Environmental Studies department. We plan various events throughout the year, both on and off campus, and everyone is welcome! Our events focus on meeting people, networking, and educational opportunities. It's free to join, but some events do cost money.
Below are some introductions about our 2025-2026 CUGESA Executives. Feel free to contact us with ideas or questions either in person, through our Facebook or Instagram @CUGESA or on the Contacts Tab above. We would love to hear about how you would like to contribute to our association!
