‘To Sustain a Continent’ exhibition

In 2015, Grand Valley State University student Hannah Mico participated in a study abroad program partially funded through the GVSU Padnos International Center, which led to the creation of an exhibition featuring observations from South Africa.

Mico studied resource management in communities bordering the Kruger National Park in South Africa, and the wildlife around the area. In South Africa, she documented a spectrum of conditions and worldwide issues.

The exhibit, “To Sustain a Continent: An Exploration of South African Resource Management” will be featured at the Kirkhof Center Gallery until Wednesday, March 1, which is the last day to view the piece from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
