The Walk, An Unusual Teaching Experience

By John Walters on Tuesday, April 3, 2001.

For more than 30 years, Taylor Morris has led students at Franklin Pierce College in a unique and often powerful educational experience known as "The Walk." Every summer, about 25 students spend the semester walking across Europe - about 1200 miles. It's a very different experience than studying Chaucer and organic chemistry; but according to Morris, many of his students learn as much - and often more - from the experience as from the classroom.
