Rivers expedition in Spring 2010
by Travis Wireback
Editor in Chief
The Voice of the Rivers trip information
for 2010 has been announced. Voice of
the Rivers (VOR) is an expedition which
focuses on the interdisciplinary study of a
river from its beginning to its end. This trip
is sponsored by the college, but it will cost
students $1975 to participate and students
must have their apphcations in by February
1,2010.
VOR is a 6 hour course which fulfills
the Learning in Community (LINC)
requirement combining ORG 290 and
WLEE 290.The trip will take place May
16 through June 2 with two training trips
taking place March 13-14 and April 9-11.
This year, the VOR trip will take place
on the Yadkin-Pee Dee River This trip
gives 10 students the opportunity to follow
the Yadkin-Pee Dee from its watershed in
Blowing Rock to the Winyah Bay in the
Atlantic Ocean, north of Charleston, S.C.
This is a 300-mile trip entirely done in
sea kayaks. Participants will be camping
nightly, so students should prepare for not
only the difficult task of paddling 300 miles
but also living in the woods for the duration
of the trip.
The main focus of the trip is to study
Communication Analysis and Design,
River Recreation, Conservation, and
Education.
No prior experience is required, as you
will receive all the training necessary to
complete the trip while completing the trip.
All necessary equipment and food will be
provided by the college also, as part of the
$1975 tuition for the course. However,
students are required to provide their own
personal clothing and footwear.
The trip will be led by Jenny Kafsky and
Cameron Austin this year and is open to all
students. Get you applications in early and
for more information, please contact either
Jennifer Kafsky or Cameron Austin.
