Grandparents University

On Wednesday June 27, the Center participated in teaching a "class" for Grandparents University. This program, which is celebrating its second year, allows kids ages 8-12 and their grandparents to live on campus for a few days experiencing university life. Thanks to the Center's core faculty, a linkages game was created for the students to find ways of linking our geographic study areas by interactions: social/land, social/climate, or land/climate.
