Academic Studies and Research
Students rescued a burried green sea turtle in the mud
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
Facilitation of field experiences for 9 Prescott College classes
Increased participation of Center staff as mentors in PC classes at the Center
The 9 Prescott College classes and 7 independent studies and senior projects offered through the Center this year covered an interdisciplinary range of subjects emanating from 5 different academic programs. The switch to the block system at Prescott College facilitated the use of the Center by adding more classes, including some taught by professors who had never previously taught in Kino. The field experiences and opportunities for learning in an applied, real-world context were even more meaningful, unique, and appreciated this year because of the pandemic; students were very respectful of the safety protocols put in place. We look forward with working with more Prescott College masters students during the years ahead.
