Stan State Students Explore Life in Death Valley
Stanislaus State geography and environmental resources students took a seven-day class trip to Death Valley National Park and were impressed by the bounty of life they found in a place with a lifeless name. "This is one of our hallmark courses," said Associate Professor of Geography Alison McNally. "Students can learn about desert processes, biodiversity and physical landscapes in the classroom, but to go out and be right in the middle of it - they're living it. They're feeling it, touching it. It just makes the connection so much deeper when they get out into the field."
