What's in a number?

Starting with the May 2017 version, the course has a new number: ES 471/ER 412 (formerly ES 441/ER 411)! It may prove temporarily confusing, but the new numbers represent a greater diversity in courses offered by the School of Environmental Studies. When the Galiano course was first offered in 2013, I was just embarking on a new field course adventure. It made sense to use a tried-and-true course number (ES 441, and the ER 411 cross-list). Now that the Galiano course is around to stay, it makes sense to give it a unique designation. Nothing else has changed about the main elements of the course--still great field experiences and the benefits of sharing learning with an amazing group of students in a dynamic Gulf Islands community.
