  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • Environmental Education Resource Directory
    EE Resource Directory Introduction The Environmental Education Association of Indiana has compiled this directory to assist educators in selecting and accessing resources for environmental education in the classroom. Those who work with adults and non-formal youth groups, such as scouts and 4-H, may also find these resources useful in planning activities for meetings, workshops, camp, and other occasions. The directory is organized into two main sections, those organizations that serve the entire state and those that serve a limited area, such as a county or region. Within the two main sections, you will find public agencies, including federal, state, county, and city departments, and private organizations, such as soil and water conservation districts, conservation organizations, and individuals who are available to share music, stories, or songs. If you have corrections or additions to this list, please contact Cathy Meyer at Monroe County Parks and Recreation, 119 West Seventh Street, Bloomington, IN 47404, 812- 349-2805, How to Get the Most From These Resources The organizations and people listed here are experts who are willing to share a vast array of knowledge and materials with you. There are a few ways to make the most of your contacts with them. These contacts are intended primarily for use by adults, not for student research projects. Before contacting anyone, be clear about your educational objectives. Many of the programs are based on state science standards to help you in meeting educational requirements. Will your objectives best be met with classroom activities, activities using the school grounds, or visits to special sites away from school? Do you need activity ideas, supplementary videos, material or equipment to borrow, or a speaker? What level of understanding should students have after the program? What will they know beforehand and what will you do to follow-up? Many agencies offer preliminary training for teachers using their programs or they may have pre-visit or follow-up activities for you to use.
