[UW Geography Advising via geogu-l]

Greetings Geographers,



Don’t forget: Applications for the Halmo Geography Scholars Program<https://geography.washington.edu/gerald-w-halmo-geography-scholars-program> are due February 1!



What is the Gerald W. Halmo Geography Scholars Program? In memory of Gerald W. Halmo<https://geography.washington.edu/news/2021/03/30/remembering-uw-geography-alum-gerald-halmo> (UW Geography B.A., 1960), this program provides financial support to undergraduate geography majors to support their research, volunteering, or other projects that benefit a community and further their development as a geographer. The recipients of this award will complete a research internship with one of two Department of Geography Research Labs in SPR 2025 or SUM 2025:

  *   Anti-Eviction Lab<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.antievictionlab.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jxUgh9N_Yw5IAF8Bvc671xdYW1IW8VmvGW4hsmchesFVA53d-MhQ5zaf29ed5KJPpJcZj6gv-x9f03iy2sLuvQ$>: This lab brings together spatial, racial, and technological justice collective projects with student researchers. Housed at University of Washington and led by Erin McElroy, it prioritizes collaborative knowledge making with groups such as the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project. One of its current focuses is Landlord Tech Watch aimed at producing scholarship and popular education materials related to the property technology industry.
  *   Humanistic GIS Lab<https://hgis.uw.edu/>: This lab is committed to exploring the Digital Earth as the home of humankind. Driven by this common interest, a group of UW scholars and student researchers have been working together (1) to explore innovative methodologies to improve geospatial technologies with the consideration of human experience,  (2) to reflect upon the social implications of maps, geovisualization, and other geospatial technologies, and (3) to geo-narrate a variety of geographic phenomena, especially those related to vulnerable populations.



We encourage applications from geography undergraduate students who wish to deepen their research skills and professional development through community-engaged learning in the department labs.

Further, we embrace applications from majors who are members of underrepresented groups, first generation, of any citizenship status, and those experiencing financial barriers that would otherwise prevent them from being able to participate in an internship, community-based research or other similar opportunities.



Deadline for applications is Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. (Selected applicants will be invited for an interview during the week of February 10-14, and award recipients will be notified by mid-March 2025.) Visit the Department of Geography website<https://geography.washington.edu/gerald-w-halmo-geography-scholars-program> for more information!
