Gamma Theta Upsilon - ASU Chapter
Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) is an international honor society in Geography. Gamma Theta Upsilon 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 geography knowledge and awareness.
GTU mainly gets together for geographic field trips. Always sign up in the department office so we can be sure to arrange enough transportation.
To join, email to Faculty Advisor Mike Kuby.
