Abstract
In reviewing GTU’s Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) history, one sees where this international honor society has experienced periods of sustained growth, and it continues to play an important role in geography’s success (Maxfield, 2003). And today, we not only celebrate the first 75 years of GTU’s history but also we begin to look forward to a new generation of college students, a new generation of geographers—a generation some have referred to as the millennials—with their changing values and expectations. In this keynote address, I would like to briefly comment on this new generation in the context of GTU and geography and how universities are adjusting to changing expectations, then I will conclude with some specific examples of emerging geography’s and future opportunities.
