Useful links for my students and those in a similar position. Posted by faculty member at a community college art program. The title of this list refers to Dick Proenneke's famous series, "Alone in the Wilderness" set in Alaska (link below). Hopefully a little shared, useful information post school is a good reminder that you're not alone out there. Go kick some a$$. Updated as often as possible. https://www.aloneinthewilderness.com/
