Cassandra is a graduating senior at MCLA with a major in Arts Management and minor in Public History. Through the COPLAC Digital course: Storied Landscapes, Cassandra was able to develop a new understanding and tool for presenting history to the public for greater access. This course helped develop her research skills as well as enhance Cassandra’s ability to weave poetic and academic language into her nature writing. With the help of this course, Cassandra feels that both her and her partner Erica have gained new knowledge of how to interact with natural spaces through a digital lens.
