Georgia Perimeter College professor Barbara Robertson took her show on the road this summer when her “Introduction to American Government” students took a field trip to the Georgia State Capitol.

The goal of the trip was to make learning about Georgia government more tangible and more applicable to the students’ lives, said the Political Science instructor.

“My lesson on Georgia’s Constitution and Georgia’s government was given at the state capitol as we visited the various legislative chambers and offices and the many artifacts to be seen,” said Robertson. “For example, we discussed the office of the governor while standing in his office, [and] we discussed the constitutional requirements of the state legislature while standing in the House and Senate galleries.”
