Arctic Picture Exchange and Good
Time....
Karen has invited us to her place to celebrate the Arctic
Field Experience. We will gather at Karen's on August 9th (Friday) at
6:30 p.m. Bring a dish to pass. It is best if we all arrive around
the same time so we can have a variety of foods and share our
experiences. This is a great opportunity to share in a picture
exchange. If you have digital images consider bringing a CD for
dowloading and sharing. If you have regular prints bring your doubles
to give away and/or prints so we can note those that individuals
would like copies of. See you at Karen's.
Directions to Karen's
If coming from the south, take I-290 to I-990. Go north to
the N. French road exit. Go west to NOCO and John's Pizza (Campbell
Rd.). Make a right turn (north) onto Campbell and go 13.2 miles to
the end at Warrens Corners United Methodist (little red brick) church
on the right. You will see two top signs there (one quickly after
the other). At the second stop sign turn left and go 0.6 miles west.
Karen's is a red brick house on the left. It is across from a yellow
house.

A draft of your research paper is
due August 8th (Thursday). You can pick them up on August
12th (Monday). The final version of your research paper is due August

Coming Soon
Look here for photos and an overview of our field
experience.
Students from Buffalo State will travel to
Baffin Island for a three week field experience in the Canadian
Arctic. They will spend two weeks in Iqaluit, NWT and one week hiking
in Auyuittuq National Park. The course emphasis is on place-based
geography, studying the physical and cultural landscape of the
Arctic. While in the Arctic, the Buffalo State students will work
with faculty and students from Nunavet Arctic College. The students
are preparing for the trip by studying Arctic
Geography (a co-requisite course),
communicating with students from Nunavut Arctic College by e-mail,
and meeting regularly to learn specifics about their field experience
(physical and cultural features of the area they will be travelling
to, as well as packpacking and survival skills).
