For Geography Awareness Week and International Education Week (Nov. 14-18, 2011), members of the Student Geographers Organization (SGO) met in the Dr. Charles Rader's garage and made a series of placards depicting travel distance to various study abroad opportunities for UWRF students. Using a combination of GIS technologies to plot and calculate distances and directions, the team then painted 28 sign-boards representing programs in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The boards were mounted on a cedar trunk and base provided by Brent Greene, Director of Global Connections, and posted in front of the University Center.
