Ampersand: Pathfinder - A Sense of Place: Discovering the Environment of St. Louis
Go exploring in and around St Louis. You'll learn about the St. Louis backyard, and your "home" for the next four years. Through field trips, readings, and discussion, you'll see first-hand what challenges face the environment and the people who live here. You will learn how to examine multiple perspectives, how to think critically and how to approach problems from an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. You'll also learn why it is important to know a community at the local level if you're going to affect change on any level-state, national, or international. In addition to weekly readings and discussion, this class includes several field trips.

Beth is an amazing professor! She teaches the class in a good mix of lectures and discussions. Beth really is so caring, and that is reflected in her feedback and course materials. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Beth.

Beth was a fantastic professor this semester! In my class, we read a lot, but everything was both relevant and engaging. Additionally, Beth works to foster a strong sense of community in her classes, so if you enjoy discussion and learning from both your peers and professor, you should take one of her classes!

Beth is a great professor! She is so kind, and she truly cares about her students. She is one of the highlights of my Pathfinder experience. Our class is super interesting and covers a wide variety of topics allowing us to explore a plethora of environmental topics while also better understanding the environmental history of St. Louis.
