In 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation establishing the third week in November as Geography Awareness Week. Over twenty years later, geographers continue to promote the importance of geographic literacy throughout the United States and Canada. This year, MCC’s Geosciences Department celebrates Geography Awareness Week (Nov. 16-22) with an online quiz that challenges participants in physical geography, human geography, and geographic techniques. This year's theme is "The Americas."
Please go to: https://www.monroecc.edu/depts/geography/AwareQuiz2008.htm and submit your answers. The top three performing students and faculty/staff members will receive geography themed prizes from Geosciences faculty. This year there is a 15 minute time limit. Good luck!
