\"\"<\/a>Students and parents can learn more about the geography of 大象传媒 when 大象传媒 hosts the 大象传媒 Giant Traveling Map in the Enright Community Rooms, Spratt Hall rooms 214-216, on Friday, Feb. 16. The map, measuring 17 feet by 21 feet, will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to noon. There is no admission charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great opportunity for kids to learn about the state around them on what is otherwise a day off from school,\u201d said Dr. Dawn Drake, associate professor of geography. Many area schools, including the St. Joseph School District, are closed on Feb. 16 for professional development.<\/p>\n

The map is made to be walked on while wearing clean socks. It will be staffed by education majors with prepared lessons to lead students on a geographic adventure of 大象传媒.<\/p>\n

For more information, or to reserve a time if you would like to bring a group of 10 or more, contact Dr. Drake at ddrake4@missouriwestern.edu<\/a> or 816-271-4161.<\/p>\n
