Walkabout campus exercise by Anne Dotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan Upon choosing a path I have seldom traveled, I came to realize what commuter campus means. Ours is a beautiful campus, firmly planted in suburban Kansas City. If spaces are created to invite people to stay, the tendency is to pass through. Our campus is a liminal space between two stages in life, between the 1960s dairy land on which our institution was first built and today's increasingly heterogeneous demographics of inner-city and suburban students. en-us 2021-06-24 15:39:25 UTC 2025-09-25 20:53:57 UTC hello@padlet.com The dock and garbage bins adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623822538 2021-06-24 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623822538 More docks and garbage bins adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623824332 2021-06-24 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623824332 Secrets of the back of buildings adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623825192 2021-06-24 15:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623825192 The under-belly of the institution adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623825850 2021-06-24 15:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623825850 Where the magic happens adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623826823 2021-06-24 15:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623826823 The necessary access docks adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623828031 2021-06-24 15:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623828031 I notice the back of buildings and wonder if we express our gratitude enough to workers of the shadow adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623829113 2021-06-24 15:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623829113 I notice the docks and wonder how much work is done there adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623830798 2021-06-24 15:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623830798 Docks and trash bins: I notice what I am not supposed to see adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623832144 2021-06-24 15:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623832144 I notice different types of trash bins around campus and wonder how decisions are made adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623833551 2021-06-24 15:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623833551 I notice more different styles of trash bins on the west end of campus where the technical fields building are located adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623834635 2021-06-24 15:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623834635 Right outside our building the fanciest garbage bins on campus, the only ones of their kind located in the central plaza of campus adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623836340 2021-06-24 15:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623836340 Outward facing trash bins on the east side of campus adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623838394 2021-06-24 15:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623838394 A quick stop in the restroom gives me a glimpse of another set of trash bins adotter https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623840571 2021-06-24 15:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/adotter/1tz6i6ovrgnlnzan/wish/1623840571 Walking around campus I notice new additions growing out from the campus' center.
