While geography may be a small discipline in the U.S., its strength is grounded in an understanding of our interconnected world and its global reach. Read more from AAG president @williamgmoseley.bsky.social on how we should embrace geography as an international discipline: buff.ly/jg2YfHU #GeoSky

Revolutionary Crossroads took the past two days to experience, reflect, and commemorate the Haudenesaune, the Mohawk Valley, New Netherland/Fort Orange, New York, and the Hudson River School. #USVA250 is part of a robust, complex, and powerful experience. It is not a moment.

RevX Day 7 Encore - Yesterday a handful of program participants experienced the Waterford Flight and Erie Canal by kayak. It was a very unique way to commemorate the canal's "wedding of the waters" bicentennial.
