We are back from our AMAZING Biology Field Trip to Badlands National Park, the Black Hills, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park. I am not the designated photographer on our trips (this time, that was left primarily to Dr. Chad Scholes and Jay Sheth), but this is my favorite of the few pictures I took. We hiked to the top of a plateau in the Badlands to watch the sunset. Senior student Ben Bira and I clambered to the top of two hoodoos (rock spires), which turned out to be the best seats in the house. This is a picture of Ben from atop my hoodoo as the sun disappears behind the mountains.

About Me
- Mindy Walker
- Kansas City, MO
- I received my B.S. and M.S. in Biology from Lamar University, Beaumont, TX and earned my PhD. in Biology, with focus on mammalian evolutionary genetics, from Texas A&M University in December of 2005. I began teaching in the Department of Biology at Rockhurst University in fall of 2006. In 2007, I returned to conducting research on reptiles and have been excited to have the opportunity to incorporate student contributions into these studies. Last year, I was thrilled to become the Director of the University Honors Program; and I am excited to play a role in incorporating students into the Rockhurst family by blogging about my experiences as a member of the Rockhurst community.
