Texas A&M geographer shares fascination through teaching

“I wound up at Texas A&M because it’s a great research university,” says Charles Lafon, associate professor of geography in the College of Geosciences. “Because I’m fascinated by my research, I feel compelled to share that fascination with students through my teaching; the two can’t be separated.”
A group of student pioneers in Geology 101 and Oceanography 251/252 are establishing a beachhead in Italy for the College of Geosciences. Led by professors Wilf Gardner (Oceanography) and Mary Jo Richardson (Oceanography and Geology and Geophysics), this is the first time the college has participated in Texas A&M’s program at the Santa Chiara Study Center in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy.
The students in this fall's Global Science and Policy Making class, part of the College of Geosciences' Environmental Programs curriculum, will get big-name speakers at the fraction of the cost, courtesy of technology.
