Curricular Uses

Several biology courses use CERA extensively for field labs and student research projects. Courses in other disciplines also visit and tour CERA on field trips; those disciplines include art, anthropology, and religion, as well as various tutorials.

Praire Earthworks Project: Ephemeral sculptures were created at CERA in the spring of 2002 by students in William Pergl's Intermediate Sculpture course (ART-242). The Center for Prairie Studies has photos of the sculptures and more information on this special project.
