Hi, my name is Lauren Charles and I am a sophomore at UAF. I am studying to get my Social Work degree with a minor in Human Services. I took a Geography class probably when I was in 7th grade and I have not took one since. This class would be a requirement for a Social Science course.

For the map assignment, I was born in Bethel, Alaska. I am currently living in Fairbanks attending UAF. A place that I would like to visit would have to be Ireland.

Hello, my name is Sydney. I have taken an intro to GIS course with UAF. This course will be fulfilling one of my general education requirements but i hope that I will be able to apply what I learn to my wildlife degree. Looking forward to the semester!

Hello, my name is Jason Kells. I am a Junior at UAF, but taking this course from Lino Lakes, MN.   I am taking this course as a general requirement for my Emergency Management degree.   Besides the fair amount of domestic and Canadian traveling my only geographical education comes from course I had to take in my pre-collegiate education (I am fairly good orienteering, not in way of the sport but more as backpacking and paddle camping).   To date I have been to 33 states and 9 of the 14 Canadian provinces.   I am a dual citizen of the two countries. I look forward to learning   about the world with y'all.
