Welcome to the Geography, Environment and Planning Society!
Who are we and what do we do?
We are the Geography, Environment and Planning Society and we are an integrated and inclusive community that provides a range of events and opportunities for anyone interested in the built and natural environment, human influences and climate change.
What are our objectives for the year?
This year we plan to host more fun and memorable events. We will be continuing our weekly coffee socials as well as introducing trips to the Elehouse, Wine Tasting and Craft Evenings. We always welcome ideas for events you would like to see, and hope to see as many of you get involved as possible!
Why should you join our society?
We welcome all those with an interest in the planet, its population and the environment, whether you already know lots and just want to stay informed/chat to like-minded people or if you are simply hoping to learn more/become more inspired! Membership is open to everyone, whether you study geography or not, we aim to provide a wide variety of activities, both academic and social for you to meet new people and have a laugh.
Meet your committee for 2024-2025:
Hello! Now a team of four, we are the new committee members of GEPsoc 2024-2025 :)
Hey, I'm Archie and I'm the Chair for GEPsoc. It is important to me that our society can offer new events, as well as the amazing ones we have had in the past. We want GEPsoc to be as inclusive and enjoyable as possible!
Hi, I’m Heidi and I am the secretary for GEPsoc. Going into my third and final year, I want our society to host fun and memorable events. Myself and the committee members would love you to share any event ideas with us, and we look forward to welcoming you.
Hi, I'm Eliza and I'm the new treasurer for the GEP society this year. I'm excited to meet new members during Freshers Week and help plan events throughout the year.
Hi I’m Charley, I’m the new inclusion officer committee member and in my first year of PhD at Herts. I have been a student here for 5 years now and a member of this society for 2 of those. I’m excited for the year ahead and hope to help deliver some interesting and entertaining events throughout this academic year. In the past the annual student wine tasting was my favourite event, looking forward to it again this year!
