Lillian Vallee, Professor of English, Retired
This curricular unit is the first of three based on the observation that Central Valley regional literacy is a unifying and stimulating subject and context for engaging a diverse student population in meaningful learning. The first unit focuses on the natural and indigenous history of the Central Valley, and therefore is devoted to an instructor/docent-led tour of one of Modesto Junior College’s richest resources: The Great Valley Museum of Natural History, located on the West Campus.
