Mammalogy
Dr. Joe Whittaker
This was an experience unlike any other class I had taken at Concordia. My other science courses were focused on humans and this class allowed me to expand my knowledge to all mammals. It gave me the opportunity to learn about Minnesota mammals in a hands-on environment outside the classroom. It’s amazing the number of different species of mammals that we interact with daily. I find myself going on walks with family and friends and being able to differentiate between the different squirrel species around me on the trails. Before this course, I likely would not have taken a second glance.

"Concordia taught me the value of becoming responsibly engaged in my community. I am influencing all of my students – from teenagers to college students to inmates – to help them prepare for their futures with the skills and mindsets they need to do so."
