An exhibit of more than 100 photographs of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia goes on display in the Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center atrium April 14–June 1. The exhibit will open with an April 14th afternoon celebration of Quadrille music and dance, followed by remarks on sustainable tourism by a St. Lucian government minister. The images in the exhibit, “Expeditions 2005,” were taken by students and photographers who traveled to St. Lucia on eco-tours organized by Dr. Barry Barker, environmental science/studies professor in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Math, Science, and Technology. The participating students were part of a special topics geography course. Their goal was not only to document St. Lucia’s environment, culture, and history through photographs, but also to acquire hands-on experience in applying sustainable solutions to ecological problems. “Expeditions 2005” is the 6th annual photographic project organized by the Farquhar College of Arts and Science. In past years, expeditions have traveled to Chile, Costa Rica, Malaysia, East Africa and China.
