Geog 7101, Research Design, meets over Zoom, with guest speaker Madhumita Dutta.

Online Shift: 

Beginning Monday, March 23rd, OSU moved to online delivery mode for the remainder of the semester. Faculty, instructors and graduate students had to quickly adjust coursework, which was made more challenging by working from home. Our ASC Tech staff member, Jens Blegvad, worked countless hours to give students access to lab computers remotely. I've been extremely grateful for everyone's adaptable, team-oriented spirit. Way to pull together, Geography!
