GTU - Gamma Theta Upsilon,

Gamma Theta Upsilon is the international geography honors society.

GTU was founded at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois on May 15, 1928. It became a national society, incorporated in Illinois, in 1931. The local chapter, Zeta Xi, was chartered at The University of Toledo in 1981.

Locally, we try to schedule activities and speakers throughout the year.



We are also responsible for planning the fall and spring department picnics. Through GTU, we also have the ability to apply for special funding for conference attendance and travel. As a GTU member, you would be entitled to apply for this type of funding.
