report along the way

After meeting with most of the 202 audio assignment groups: I can say that I'm delighted with the directions that they are taking this project.  I anticipate that we will learn about topics that include the Civilian Conservation Core, education and cultural heritage, the value of archeological artifacts, the economics of tourism, and biological diversity.  Just what issues and research problems will emerged from these topics remains to be seen.  We may hear about individuals' experiences in parks, about the natural landscape, about public policy relative to natural resources, about how popular opinion regards the relative value of people and wilderness.  At least two groups are aiming for national broadcasts.  One group is experiencing the realities of social capital over a long duration.  All groups are showing maturity and discipline developed over their nearly two years of college work.
