Alternative to Virtual Reality Discovered!


Any list of natural wonders of the world is sure to include the Grand Canyon.  Visited by over three million people each year, nothing rivals it for scenic impact and a place to get a sense of one’s perspective in the world.  A virtual tour of this astounding feature can be found at:

While the site may be fascinating, you can't smell, touch, feel, or even truly see the Canyon this way.  MCC is taking the "virtual" part out by offering GEO 195 - Field Studies in the Geosciences, this spring/summer, with six days of the total 11-day field experience spent exploring the Grand Canyon from the best vantage point - the Colorado River.

Want to learn more?  Enroll in GEO 195 - Field Studies in the Geosciences, a Spring/Summer course.  Now enrolling - capacity 15 students, space still available!

Want to learn more about the course?  Contact the instructor, Dan Robertson ("mailto:drobertson@monroecc.edu", phone 292-2422, or office 8-214) and visit the course website: https://www.deprezmeetings.com/groups/2012_mcc_geo195_grandcanyon/general.shtml
