Faculty and students from TCU’s AddRan College of Liberal Arts are putting innovation
into practice through an interdisciplinary collaboration with Patagonia Books. Guided
by AddRan professors, undergraduate students — each connected to AddRan through majors,
minors or dual degrees — used GIS technology and Esri StoryMaps to bring two Patagonia
titles to life, merging environmental storytelling with data visualization and digital
design.
