| Other: | Hello Fellow Geo-People, I recently graduated from the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities with a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning (MURP). If any of you are interested in career track (planning) feel free to contact me with questions and I will be more than happy to provide some advice.... I really loved my time at La Crosse and I miss it often. Geo Club did some crazy things back then..... creating pet rocks and selling them (for a profit!), Relay for Life events, geo-caching, and bluff clean-ups. I only hope that you all have a fantastic time as I did and have good luck in the future, Kate |
