PASSHE Summer 2014

Students travel to Nova Scotia taught the course about sustainable By Lauren Griffith The 2014 PASSHE Summer Honors Trip went to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada as a part of “The Canadian Maritimes: Geological Wonders Living from the Land and Sea.” I, along with Elizabeth Clayton, had the pleasure of going. Mansfield University hosted this year’s program, and the two separate courses taught during the three week trip were taught by Dr. Wright and Dr. Dodson. Dr. Wright

agriculture, and Dr. Dodson taught the course about the physical geography of the Maritime region. The honors director, also named Dr. Wright, went on the trip as well. The trip started at Mansfield, where we resided for three days and were introduced to the topics we would spend the next two weeks learning about. We prepared our own food there in the Mansfield University Food Lab. We departed by bus to Maine, and then continued North the next day.

The students stayed in both hotels and in dormitories at different universities. Some were similar to Cal U’s newly renovated dorm rooms, while some were more of the traditional style, with the community bathroom and all. Each day started early, and ended late. The schedule was intense, as Dr. Wright, the program director, had wanted us to get the most out of our time in the area. The majority of the days were split, and would cover both courses in one day. In the morning and early afternoon, we might stop at a geological wonder, like Hopewell Rocks. Continued on page 3
