Mission Statement
The Department of Geography at Penn State is committed to building a resilient and just world by bridging the subfields of geography to identify innovative and creative social, environmental, and spatial solutions. We seek these solutions through our teaching, research, and service by advancing the vision of how to sustain landscapes and livelihoods, respond to the climate crisis, and make data science spatial. We see these as grand challenges for Penn State Geography.
