Undergraduate Welcome Events

Welcome to the Department of Geography and Environment! We're looking forward to welcoming you to LSE this autumn.

Below you'll find all the Welcome events you can attend as a Geography and Environment undergraduate.

Please note that events may be subject to change. We'll keep this page up to date with the latest information.

You can find the schedule on this page and in your calendar on the Student Hub app. Be sure to download the app before Welcome begins.

If you're unable to attend these events, please contact geog.ug@lse.ac.uk.

Undergraduate Welcome Schedule

The Presidential Welcome Address

2-3pm Peacock Theatre

Join classmates from across LSE in the Peacock Theatre to celebrate becoming part of LSE. You'll hear about what LSE can offer you from President Larry Kramer, Vice President for Education Emma McCoy, and Students' Union General Secretary Amara Jane Otero Salgado.

  • Bring your LSE ID card (or your pre-enrolment letter to show on your phone if you don't have your ID yet) - you'll need it to enter.
  • Arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before your start time; sessions run back-to-back and doors can't open sooner.
  • Attend your scheduled session only. Capacity is planned carefully, and going along to a different session could cost someone else their seat.
