Superior Connections
Superior Connections is a sequence of nine courses integrated thematically by a focus on the Lake Superior watershed. Students who enroll in Superior Connections develop expertise in the natural and human histories of the watershed, and then use these expertise to study and engage a variety of complexly interconnected environmental and cultural issues. Superior Connections incorporates a number of field trips into its courses, including a one-month journey around Lake Superior. Students emerge from the program empowered by experiences of connectedness to make meaningful contributions to the watersheds and communities in which they will live.
You must apply and be accepted to participate in Superior Connections. (Open to freshmen only.)
Superior Connections was developed with support from The Henry Luce Foundation.
