NY Rocks

NY Rocks is NYJC’s in-house Geography Student Interest Group, established in 2024 to unite passionate geography enthusiasts eager to explore the wonders of our world. It offers a platform for students to dive deeper into geographic topics beyond the classroom, nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation of our environment.

Through a diverse range of activities, including fun GeoGuessr sessions for members to explore the geographies of the world, field studies, and discussions on pressing global issues such as climate change, urban development, and sustainable resource management, NY Rocks bridges theory with real-world applications. Members gain a richer understanding of the intricate connections between people, places, and the environment. We aspire to collaborate with industry professionals and organizations, creating future opportunities for students to participate in competitions, internships, and meaningful Geography-related events.

Whether you’re captivated by natural landscapes, fascinated by urban planning, or driven by a passion for sustainability, NY Rocks is the place to share ideas, explore interests, and make a meaningful impact.

Join us as we uncover the beauty and complexity of our ever-changing world!
