For our audio slideshow project, Louis and I plan to focus on the new immersion program that the Mountain Recreation Management Department launched earlier this fall. The program runs for an entire semester and boasts a curriculum focused solely on firsthand outdoor education and experience. As a result, students in the immersion program frequently plan for and embark on canoeing, hiking, and climbing expeditions that span one to two weeks. They also receive extensive training in the areas of outdoor emergency care, group dynamics, and nature preservation.
Tyler Weller is a sophomore mountain rec major and a member of the first-ever immersion class at Lyndon State. Louis and I plan to interview Tyler to get his take on the program and learn more about the curriculum. We think that Tyler's stories and information will make for a very engaging audio piece.
For the project itself, Louis will be conducting the interview with Tyler and I will be writing the accompanying article with input from another student in the program. Louis and I both plan to take pictures of Tyler prepping for his classes/trips, hiking outside, getting his gear together, etc. We also have some pictures from earlier expeditions that we may add to the slideshow with credit to enhance the overall story.
