Experiential learning is imperative for students at Southeast Missouri State University. The university is constantly working on improvement projects for campus. Students and faculty members worked cooperatively to create a guide to campus trees. Building, parking lots, roads, and tree locations were recorded using a global positioning system (GPS). Data were translated into a geographical information system (GIS). Maps were created of various tree species across campus. Final maps will be used by the admissions office to create a walking tour guide brochures for campus visitors.
