Central Washington University is a largely residential campus located
in the rainshadow of the Cascade Mountains, approximately 100 miles
ESE of Seattle.  It offers baccalaureate degrees in many disciplines
and has a number of masters programs as well.  Ellensburg is a town
of approximately 14,000 people, including the university population,
surrounded by a large area of irrigated agriculture dominated by
production of corn, high quality hay, beef cattle, and wheat.  Topics
for local field investigation associated with the Yakima River system
abound, as do recreational opportunities.  The Department of
Geography and Land Studies has a distinguished tradition of high
quality instruction, public service, and leadership within the
university.  We are currently in the thick of preparing a five year
strategic plan that will emphasize geography's global view of
phenomena and its role in preparing students to manage land,
resources, and environments.  We are a major supporting department
for the Resource Management masters degree program and the
university's GIS Laboratory (housed in the same building as the
department).
