Mug shot: Some of the good-looking Gustavus crew that attended MUGS 2012 at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul.
Gustavus Geography had a great showing at this year’s Midwest Undergraduate Geography Symposium (MUGS) on Saturday, April 28. Gustavus students Jory Birkeland, Emery Ellingson, and Peter Westby presented papers from their original research: Jory presented on the future of public transportation in the American West, Emery on the relationship between growth in corn ethanol and Conservation Reserve Program enrollment in Minnesota, and Peter on the dynamic population growth in Nashville.
