(14) EPS38/SD10

Professors J. Park & G. Hill

This learning community links EPS 38 (6, 3381) with SD10 (10P, 1554). In this link, Earth Science and Freshman Seminar are paired to provide support for you in your first semester. In Earth Science, you will learn about the natural processes that shape the rocks, water, and air that make up our world, and how those things help support life on Earth. In SD 10, you will learn study skills and ways to research that will help support your learning in Earth Science, and your life in college. A student Peer Mentor will help you form a connection to the college, and help support your work by organizing Science Study Sessions. Students will participate in a rocket launch in SD 10, using scale models of an actual NASA sounding rocket, which will connect what you will learn about the atmosphere in Science to a goal setting exercise where you will literally watch your dreams take flight.
