Course Unions

The two course unions related to the Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographic Sciences are networks of enthusiastic students. Though the course unions are unique, they are both committed to fostering a great academic experience through member engagement, events, advocacy, and increasing access to resources.

The Environmental and Earth Sciences Course Union (EESC) is an active group that keeps members informed about upcoming events, job opportunities, volunteer opportunities, as well as important academic updates. It is also a great way to connect with fellow environmental and earth sciences students.
