I’m currently taking GEO 101: Intro to Earth Processes and History, and one of my favorite parts of the class so far has been looking at a wide variety of rock samples to better identify them. One Sunday in October, we drove to the dinosaur footprints in Hadley, followed by a trek up Mt. Tom and Mt. Holyoke. It was a great opportunity to explore the Pioneer Valley in a way that I most likely wouldn’t have done otherwise. If you’re looking for a new subject to explore, I highly recommend looking into geosciences!

Outdoor Orientation Leader Training

My first three days back on campus were spent doing a final round of training for leading the outdoor adventure orientation groups. My group, Explorer, was scheduled to do a range of activities: rock climbing, kayaking, orienteering, and hiking. Our training consisted of learning how to teach climbing, kayaking, and orienteering; reviewing our Wilderness First Aid (WFA) training from Spring semester; and scoping out our hike on Mt. Tom (the view was breathtaking).
