The General Geography Fund - Including but not limited to student travel

This includes support for the honor society Gamma Theta Upsilon. This enables members to travel to academic conferences so that they may professionally network, attend presentations and workshops, and learn about and engage with emerging research within the discipline. These funds have supported previous trips to national conferences of the American Association of Geographers in Washington D.C. (2010 and 2019), New York City (2012), Tampa (2014), Chicago (2015), and Boston (2017).

 

Floyd Hurlbut - Jim Leak Scholarship

Jim Leak began this fund made in memory of the late Dr. Hurlbut who established the Muncie Travel Service in 1952. Dr. Hurlbut was also a Professor of Geography at Ball State for many years. This award is based on a student's grade point average and service to the department.
