Their conceptual practice uses time itself as a material and aims to unfold the hidden legacies of public spaces. Through ephemeral, malleable, and collaborative public memorials, Williams’ work unsettles popular colonial logics of permanence, uniformity, and displacement. This work creates participatory paths for communal engagement informed by targeted research and site-specificity: holding space for disenfranchised public memories and visualizing frameworks of emancipation and shared agency. While aesthetically, Williams’ work flirts with minimalism, the practice is deeply interdisciplinary, and carefully layers contextual research, communal activity, collaboration, civic action, and performance. Their projects expand beyond the limits of the gallery toward public space: places of education and worship, fashion, virtual portals, and even upward to the sky. Williams’ work is guided by generations of freedom fighters who have dared to unsettle global colonial practices and the visible and invisible structures that sustain them. https://www.sandywilliamsiv.com/Sandy Williams IV is an artist and educator whose work generates moments of communal catharsis.

Students are eligable for academic credit via PRM 486 (4cr) Field Experience. OGDP is an immersive program that provides a smooth transition and educational process to become a Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) Trip Staff. Certificates of completion will be given to those students participating in a formal assessment of their skills and qualifications as pursuant to best industry practice and established Base Camp Cullowhee Lead Guide and Instructor competencies. OGDP focuses on giving students the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to become competent outdoor instructors and guides. OGDP Foundations and Outdoor Essential Clinics are at the core of becoming a trip leader and are offered during the Fall semester. OGDP is also Base Camp's professional development for current staff working as trip leaders and focuses on improvement in technical skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Becoming an outdoor leader and educator is a lifelong journey that starts with developing a core set of skills and knowledge. It is more than just being a climber, paddler or backpacker. OGDP gives you the confidence and tools necessary to pursue a life full of human powered adventure. Whether you want to become a trip leader with Base Camp Cullowhee, work for an outdoor guide service, or just looking to refine your outdoor leader toolbox; OGDP has something to offer everyone. OGDP Foundations and Essentials: All outdoor leaders need a foundation and a basis of knowledge, skill and attitude that informs their practice and Foundations serves as the bricks and mortar. Emphasis is placed on the history and key philosophies of outdoor education, exploring how people learn and how to foster positive group experiences, understanding the role or risk and responding to emergencies, and experiencing firsthand in field training with BCC trained and certified outdoor professionals. The skills you learn and ideas you explore will be something that are bound to impact someone during your time with WCU’s Base Camp Cullowhee program. Foundations are an introduction to what we at Base Camp believe are essential theoretical, historical, and practical concepts related to Outdoor Leadership. The focus of Foundation classes will be on the awareness of appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills as it relates to Outdoor Leadership with particular emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment and equipment. Our hope through these Workshops is that you will begin to better understand the role of Outdoor Leaders and that you will start to develop an Outdoor Leader lens that will inform your practice as you progress through OGDP and beyond. Finally, we hope you come to these workshops excited to learn and interact with others. Three workshops have been developed to provide insight to the rich history and key philosophies important to understanding your role as an outdoor leader, about how groups work together (or not) and how people learn, and to understand the role of risk in our programs and how we address adverse situations in adverse settings. Each of the three workshops will be offered several times during the semester, all you need to do is find the one for each topic that best works with your schedule, sign up online or in person with one of our friendly BCC Adventure Shop staff and show up!

Students are eligable for academic credit via PRM 486 (4cr) Field Experience. OGDP is an immersive program that provides a smooth transition and educational process to become a Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) Trip Staff. Certificates of completion will be given to those students participating in a formal assessment of their skills and qualifications as pursuant to best industry practice and established Base Camp Cullowhee Lead Guide and Instructor competencies. OGDP focuses on giving students the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to become competent outdoor instructors and guides. OGDP Foundations and Outdoor Essential Clinics are at the core of becoming a trip leader and are offered during the Fall semester. OGDP is also Base Camp's professional development for current staff working as trip leaders and focuses on improvement in technical skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Becoming an outdoor leader and educator is a lifelong journey that starts with developing a core set of skills and knowledge. It is more than just being a climber, paddler or backpacker. OGDP gives you the confidence and tools necessary to pursue a life full of human powered adventure. Whether you want to become a trip leader with Base Camp Cullowhee, work for an outdoor guide service, or just looking to refine your outdoor leader toolbox; OGDP has something to offer everyone. OGDP Foundations and Essentials: All outdoor leaders need a foundation and a basis of knowledge, skill and attitude that informs their practice and Foundations serves as the bricks and mortar. Emphasis is placed on the history and key philosophies of outdoor education, exploring how people learn and how to foster positive group experiences, understanding the role or risk and responding to emergencies, and experiencing firsthand in field training with BCC trained and certified outdoor professionals. The skills you learn and ideas you explore will be something that are bound to impact someone during your time with WCU’s Base Camp Cullowhee program. Foundations are an introduction to what we at Base Camp believe are essential theoretical, historical, and practical concepts related to Outdoor Leadership. The focus of Foundation classes will be on the awareness of appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills as it relates to Outdoor Leadership with particular emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment and equipment. Our hope through these Workshops is that you will begin to better understand the role of Outdoor Leaders and that you will start to develop an Outdoor Leader lens that will inform your practice as you progress through OGDP and beyond. Finally, we hope you come to these workshops excited to learn and interact with others. Three workshops have been developed to provide insight to the rich history and key philosophies important to understanding your role as an outdoor leader, about how groups work together (or not) and how people learn, and to understand the role of risk in our programs and how we address adverse situations in adverse settings. Each of the three workshops will be offered several times during the semester, all you need to do is find the one for each topic that best works with your schedule, sign up online or in person with one of our friendly BCC Adventure Shop staff and show up!

Students are eligable for academic credit via PRM 486 (4cr) Field Experience. OGDP is an immersive program that provides a smooth transition and educational process to become a Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) Trip Staff. Certificates of completion will be given to those students participating in a formal assessment of their skills and qualifications as pursuant to best industry practice and established Base Camp Cullowhee Lead Guide and Instructor competencies. OGDP focuses on giving students the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to become competent outdoor instructors and guides. OGDP Foundations and Outdoor Essential Clinics are at the core of becoming a trip leader and are offered during the Fall semester. OGDP is also Base Camp's professional development for current staff working as trip leaders and focuses on improvement in technical skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Becoming an outdoor leader and educator is a lifelong journey that starts with developing a core set of skills and knowledge. It is more than just being a climber, paddler or backpacker. OGDP gives you the confidence and tools necessary to pursue a life full of human powered adventure. Whether you want to become a trip leader with Base Camp Cullowhee, work for an outdoor guide service, or just looking to refine your outdoor leader toolbox; OGDP has something to offer everyone. OGDP Foundations and Essentials: All outdoor leaders need a foundation and a basis of knowledge, skill and attitude that informs their practice and Foundations serves as the bricks and mortar. Emphasis is placed on the history and key philosophies of outdoor education, exploring how people learn and how to foster positive group experiences, understanding the role or risk and responding to emergencies, and experiencing firsthand in field training with BCC trained and certified outdoor professionals. The skills you learn and ideas you explore will be something that are bound to impact someone during your time with WCU’s Base Camp Cullowhee program. Foundations are an introduction to what we at Base Camp believe are essential theoretical, historical, and practical concepts related to Outdoor Leadership. The focus of Foundation classes will be on the awareness of appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills as it relates to Outdoor Leadership with particular emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment and equipment. Our hope through these Workshops is that you will begin to better understand the role of Outdoor Leaders and that you will start to develop an Outdoor Leader lens that will inform your practice as you progress through OGDP and beyond. Finally, we hope you come to these workshops excited to learn and interact with others. Three workshops have been developed to provide insight to the rich history and key philosophies important to understanding your role as an outdoor leader, about how groups work together (or not) and how people learn, and to understand the role of risk in our programs and how we address adverse situations in adverse settings. Each of the three workshops will be offered several times during the semester, all you need to do is find the one for each topic that best works with your schedule, sign up online or in person with one of our friendly BCC Adventure Shop staff and show up!
