Dr. Wilson, who likes to remind people that Geography happens outdoors, took his Historical Geography class to visit Spallinger Combine Parts aka the combine graveyard, which is located near Ada. During the semester, Wilson and students have been traveling in the area around campus to interview local residents and see the sights. Students will take what they have learned and create videos that will be presented to the univerity and community members at the end of the semester.
Experiences such as this, with students and community members interacting have added a new dimension to the courses that HPJ offers, and might build stronger links between town and gown.
Well done Dr. Wilson and students!
