The mission of the Marble Fund is to support the advancement and application of geographic information science (GIS) and quantitative methods in geography. By honoring Dr. Duane Marble's contributions, the fund encourages academic excellence and innovation within these domains.
The AAG Community College Travel Grants offer financial support to exceptional students enrolled in community colleges, junior colleges, city colleges, or similar two-year educational institutions. This support enables the recipients to participate in the AAG Annual Meeting. Funded by Darrel Hess and Robert and Bobbé Christopherson, the program aims to cover travel expenses, provide meeting registration, and include a one-year membership in the AAG. This initiative seeks to encourage and facilitate academic and professional growth by engaging students in a broader geographical community.
