Map This Location with Mapquest “I believe the river contributed by helping us to analyze the river analogy at a deeper level and that led to more creative and motivated work in the actual workshops. It also helped to envision some of the problems I will have trying to map and assess outcomes within my own department.” -- Darci Dance, Linn-Benton Community College |
