Conservation Class Presentation

For any environmental studies or geography major who has been subject to the dreaded “cone of silence” of Middlebury’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) course, it is hard to imagine a class revolving around GIS could be fun. Yet when you are no longer forbidden to talk to your classmates, ...
