 '''Chemistry 290: Immersive Experience on Andros Island, Bahamas.'''
 :''Proposal by Bradley E. Sturgeon, August 2018''
-:Offered January 2019
+:Offered [[Bahamas_J2019_blog|January 2019]]
 The Bahamas, officially known as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean ~150 miles southeast of Florida. Andros Island is the largest island of the Bahama Archipelago, ~115 miles long and 40 miles wide. The island is sparsely populated (~8,000) with no cities, with the majority of people living in primitive settlements mainly on the east side of the island.

-Extensive history of the Bahama Archipelago is available online. Students will utilize resources at the Hewes Library to gather data/information. Students will be asked to gather/reference data, make a presentation, and to come to a general consensus related to the history of the Islands. Special attention will be paid to the history and geology of Andros Island. A group document will be constructed and contributions evaluated. (NOTE: A field guide containing much of this information has been generated by Professor Wiedman; this student work will be the foundations of a Monmouth College specific field guide to be used on future experiences.)

 The IFS website (https://www.intlfieldstudies.org/forfar-field-station/) has information about the field station experience, but most of the detailed information about the “experience” is available through the two IFS provided “guides” entitled, '''''Welcome to Forfar''''' and '''''Sites and Sights''''', which will be provided in hardcopy to students. Although there is a recommended schedule of on-island activities, the group will discuss and alter the schedule based on group/individual preferences.
 This trip will include snorkeling (not scuba diving…yet) so it will be necessary for all students to have some basic swimming and snorkeling instruction. This instruction will be done at the Monmouth College Pepper Natatorium. Students will be required to purchase a mask, snorkel, and fins (~$50) and to have them on campus during the pre-travel meetings. Wetsuits are recommended, but not required. There will be a minimum of 3 on-campus snorkeling sessions. (Note: there is an on-island snorkeling “check-out” conducted by IFS staff prior to the first snorkeling activity.)

-Forfar Field Station is located near Stafford Creek settlement. Forfar is staffed, year round, by the station director, 5-6 interns (college graduates), and ~5 local Bahamians who cook and maintain the facilities. Forfar provides rustic cabin-style lodging along the beach. The field station has a 56 bed capacity divided among 8 cabins. Each cabin has 3-4 sets of bunk beds, electricity, fans, mosquito bug nets, and a private bathroom with shower. The Forfar lodge houses the dining hall, classroom, research lab, and open living area. Breakfast and dinner are served each day in the dining hall, lunches are packed and eaten at off site destinations.
