What is the difference between SGE and GeoClub?

GeoClub will have weekly or bi-weekly activities throughout the semester. The overall goal of GeoClub is to build community among students and faculty in the department by organizing social events. The main event that GeoClub organizes, in conjunction with the IU chapter of the American Meteorological Society, is the EAS Holiday Party in December. SGE events are more academic and service focused. SGE will meet only once a month jointly with GeoClub. This is where official club business will be discussed, as well as call-outs for planning upcoming events and elections.

What if I don’t meet the requirements or don’t want to become a member for other reasons? Can I still participate?

Yes! You can attend SGE meetings and events without officially being a member of SGE.
