Photos: CoEPS goes rappelling |
The College of Education and Professional Studies staff jumped out of their comfort zone and from the grandstands of Perkins Stadium to try rappelling, an activity that came about from a desire to socialize more. The controlled descents were guided by cadets and staff from the ROTC program, which is a part of the college, and one National Guard rappelling specialist.
