LIFE AFTER
DEATH VALLEY

For the last 32 years, Professor Ida Bowers has been leading CSU Stanislaus students on an incredible expedition into Death Valley.

The annual trip has become a landmark staple of the rich educational experience that reflects the program’s philosophy of learning. The 2009 trip was no different for the small group of seven students and their accompanying entourage who signed up for the trip as part of the intensive “Geographical Processes in Arid Landscapes-Death Valley” course curriculum; no different except for the fact that it may very well be the last trip made.

The Geography Department’s funding for the annual trek to Death Valley was not spared by the massive state budget cut affecting the entire CSU system.

Join us in supporting the trip’s survival for future students. Besides creating an unforgettable learning experience, the Death Valley trip provides students with confidence and field experience that can boost career advancement.
