MFA Program's Mapping Project Featured on ISU Website
Iowa State University Website features story of MFA Program's 550 class mapping project of Everett Casey Nature Center and Reserve.
A donation by 1946 Iowa State graduate Everett Casey of a 76-acre plot of largely underdeveloped land outside of Boone near Don Williams Park has made ISU's Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and environment program the nation's first to now have its own nature preserve.
Early in the semester, the English 550 class was given their first assignment--the new MFA students were teamed with second-year architecture graduate students from the College of Design to "map" the ISU land. The architecture students created the visuals through artistic graphic relief maps. The creative writing students provided the words.
