Integrated Learning-Living Communities

The final foray of the 2022-23 Business Ethics & Environmental Sustainability (BEES) group's swarm was to Dayton’s Carillon Historical Park.

The park is devoted to preserving early infrastructure (the Newcom Tavern, Dayton’s first hotel/pub/courthouse/schoolhouse/fail) and memories (the Dayton Flood of 1913), but principally to celebrating Dayton’s innovators in industry (printing) and transportation (canals, bikes, cars, locomotives and airplanes).

The BEES made the rounds of the exhibits, and also rode the carousel (in which every ‘mount’ is a Dayton product), a nice confirmation of the circular flow commonly taught in the complementary spring macroeconomics course.

The park is also home to two eagles — Willa and Orville — who again produced two offspring. Their nest could be viewed from the Standard Register tower which the high-flying BEES ascended to get a closer view of the nest.
