Dr. Connie Magnuson, lecturer in Recreation, Park, and Leisure Studies in the School of Kinesiology, watched Adventure Racing, made popular by the television show Amazing Race, take off in colleges around the country, and thought, Why not at the U of M? This November, Dr. Magnuson, who has collaborated with U of M student programs, the Center for Outdoor Education, and community partners to create a unique, challenging course event, will present the Gopher Adventure Race (GAR) at CEHD’s Saturday Scholars. She was also invited to present GAR at the Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education National Conference in Keystone, CO. For more information on this University-wide event, go to:
