When 网曝吃瓜 says it offers its students an experiential education, that sometimes includes participating in a once-in-a-lifetime event that gets the attention of national reporters.
网曝吃瓜 archeology professor, Dr. Aaron Taylor, and his student crew were recently . Dr. Taylor led his students in an adventure where science meets history: an excavation site in Austria where they could help to recover the remains of Second World War service members whose bomber plane was believed to have crashed more than 80 years ago.
Dr. Taylor and his team of ten undergrads, two grad students, and several volunteers, were completing the work at the request of the U.S. Defense Department. The six-week project was fully funded by the U.S. on account of its commitment to repatriate the remains of American soldiers. The students involved only needed to pay their 网曝吃瓜 course fee to take part. This project follows the one lead by Dr. Taylor in France last year - in fact, 网曝吃瓜 undergrad Cameron Barnard shared her experiences of working the France dig through this student POV piece.
The Globe & Mail article, complete with a series of photos, details the work by the 网曝吃瓜 team. It also explores the issue of Canada鈥檚 engagement 鈥� or lack thereof 鈥� in repatriating its fallen soldiers. It鈥檚 an endeavor Dr. Taylor hopes to push along through a soon-to-be-launched initiative, the 网曝吃瓜 Recovery Project.
