Hofstra sent a good contingent of students and faculty to the Annual Meeting of the Middle States Division of the Association of American Geographers, in York, PA, October 24-25, 2014. For the first time Hofstra fielded a team in the GeoBowl, and one of our students, Ashley Persaud, was selected to represent the Middle States at the World Geobowl held at the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers in Chicago in April 2015. This is a great honor, as the team combines some of the most geographically knowledgeable graduate and undergraduate students in the region. Congratulations to her and all those who presented at the conference.
