This seminar will explore the natural history and conservation biology of New England vertebrate wildlife. We will learn about the historical ecology of the New England landscape from the end of the last ice age to the present. This historical perspective will focus on how the natural landscape has changed due to both natural and human caused mechanisms. In response to changes in the landscape came changes in the populations of wildlife. In addition to landscape changes, wildlife has also responded to many human caused stressors (over-exploitation, pesticides, habitat degradation).

Through games and experiential exercises, students in this seminar will be provided the opportunity to reexamine assumptions about interpersonal relations and human behavior in organizations. Topics will include social perception, group dynamics, managing conflict, and celebrating diversity. The application of concepts and topics covered to careers in the field of business, especially hospitality and tourism management, will be explored.
