BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University’s Huxley College of the Environment will debut two new courses this summer, “Natural History of Northwest Birds” and “Geography of Latin America.” Both courses will be taught by Huxley College faculty member Mark VanderVen. “Natural History of Northwest Birds” (Environmental Studies 397V) is a three-credit course that will be offered from 9 to 10:50 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 20 through July 27. This new class will utilize field trips as well as lectures to teach students how to identify common Pacific Northwest breeding and summer birds, as well as the diversity, ecology and conservation of birds. The course is open to anyone with an interest in birds, though prior coursework in biology or environmental studies is required. “Geography of Latin America” (Geography 397V) is a three-credit course that will be taught from 9 to 10:20 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from June 21 to July 28. From those planning to visit the Latin American tropics to those with a curiosity about the world beyond America’s borders, this course will explore general aspects of Latin American geography including physical, economic, cultural and environmental features. Cost for each course is $122 per credit. Formal admission is not required for summer courses. Space is limited, so register early.
