For this Spotlight session, a panel of faculty members from across the university models how a certain topic can be explored from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives. \u00a0Representatives from the disciplines introduced in the course (natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, fine arts, and theology) describe how they would investigate the Cedar Creek Waterway, a proposed system of parks and trails that would connect Kirby Lake and Fort Phantom Lake (see the map below).<\/p>\n

The completed Cedar Creek Waterway would include a seventeen mile hiking and biking trail that follows Cedar Creek and connects public parks throughout the center of Abilene. \u00a0Recycled water would be pumped into the creek to provide a steady flow of water for kayaking, and certain parts of the trail would be developed with restaurants, shops, and outdoor amphitheaters that overlook the creek. \u00a0To learn more about the project, visit the Cedar Creek Waterway website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Would you support this project? \u00a0Why or why not? \u00a0What unintended consequences should we worry about? \u00a0What positive impact might this have on the Abilene community?<\/p>\n
