Ohio University Honors Tutorial College

During spring break, 17 OHIO Honors students traveled to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. 🦣

The two-credit hour course was designed to engage students with the economy, ecology and culture of the area, also showing the complexity of the National Park system.

In addition to seeing cave formations, bats and salamanders, the trip included a community service project, an after-hours tour of the historic main entrance, a private tour of the Great Onyx Cave, a visit to the Bransford African American Cemetery and more.

The course was designed by by Geoff Buckley, HTC associate dean, and Michelle O'Malley, executive director of the Office of Experiential Learning.
