Professor On The Road
Professor On The Road
May 12, 2021After the announcement that most classes at the university would continue in an online format for the spring semester, Hale, a professor of practice in the MSU School of Journalism, decided he would teach classes from his vehicle, remotely, and travel across the country. He purchased a camper attachment for his pick-up truck through Facebook marketplace and spent the last weeks of 2020 prepping for a semester-long journey on the road—an initiative he calls “Professor on the Road.”
Hale reached out to the community for recommendations on where he should travel. Taking the best suggestions, he compiled them into a Google map, with loose plans to hit as many recommendations as possibly over the duration of the semester.
With his vehicle equipped with a bed and a make-shift outdoor shower, Hale began his journey in February and made his way west to San Diego, California, capturing breathtaking footage along the way.
