"When David Rain, associate professor of geography and international affairs and chair of the Geography Department at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, convenes his Geography Pro Seminar, his students are as likely to be found in the streets of Washington, D.C., as in a campus classroom. And that’s exactly how Rain planned it.
His senior capstone course combines seminar-style discussion with real-world exposure to geography challenges. The 28 students in his class are taking on the role of professional urban geographers—city planners, GIS coordinators, outreach specialists—as they investigate the rising demands on D.C. curbsides."
