Geography Hits 50

2009 marks the 50th year of Geography’s existence as an autonomous department on the UBC campus and the 40th anniversary of the Geography Club, now known as the Geography Students Association.

This is cause for celebration, and we intend to mark the occasion in fine style on September 25th and 26th. Please see the insert in the 2009 Geogramme for details and plan to join us at one or more of the events. You will be welcomed warmly, and we hope this will be an occasion for the renewal of old friendships as well as an opportunity to see how the department and your old haunts have changed over the years

Those were the days. Or were they? UBC Geography in the early years.

The following history of the department was written by Dr J. Lewis Robinson, founding professor of Geography at UBC, on the sixtieth anniversary of his appointment on 1 September 1946. Link to document (pdf 90Kb)
