Gamma
Theta Upsilon,
or GTU, is an international honor society in geography. GTU
was founded in 1928 and became a national organization in 1931.
Members of GTU have met academic requirements and share a background
and interest in geography. GTU chapter activities support geographic
knowledge and awareness on a number of college and university
campuses. The VU chapter of GTU, Alpha Xi, was established on
campus in May, 1950. Currently, Prof. Longan is the VU GTU faculty
sponsor.
To be eligible for GTU membership, students must 1) have
completed a minimum of three geography courses, 2) have a
B average in geography, 3) must rank in the upper 35% of their
class, and 4) have completed at least three semesters of college
course work.
For the 2006-2007 academic year, the following students earned
membership in GTU:
- Jeff Field
- Laurie Dickmeyer
- Tim Kalinowski

In addition
Dr. Longan was elected to membership and Dr. Albert Trost,
former Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences was elected
to honorary membership in recognition of his support for Geography
at VU.
We congratulate
Dr. Trost and the above students on this achievement!
