Summer 2012 is your chance to enroll in an exciting new course for educators and other college students at Eastern Michigan University's new Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science near Traverse City.
"Unique Michigan" course, June 14 -16 – Experience many beautiful and interesting sites in northwestern Lower Michigan in this course. For instance, you will learn about: the Great Lakes by spending a half day on a 144-foot schooner on Grand Traverse Bay, prairie habitat and restoration efforts through a visit to a site in the Leelanau Peninsula, shoreline geology and ecology by walking the Lake Michigan beach while looking for birds as well as unique Leland Blue stones; Michigan's natural and commercial fisheries through a visit to a historical/commercial fishery; etc. as part of the "Unique Michigan" class. Teachers and education students will find many opportunities to inject Michigan examples into their own courses, and help their students understand how unique Michigan really is. Offered for two undergraduate or graduate credit hours; or for six SB-CEUs. For more information about this course or to register, go to http://www.emich.edu/biology/summer.
