Some find online classes to be isolating, but for two graduates of the College of Applied Health Sciences’ Recreation, Sport and Tourism online master’s program, the opposite was true. Charlie Hoffmann and Sean Baptist got to know each other while participating in the program in 2023, and it led to an artistic collaboration.
Hoffmann and Baptist, who have never met in person, spent the past year writing "Your First Ski Trip! A Kid’s Guide For Your First Ski Adventure," an illustrated children’s book centering around ski and snowboarding knowledge and safety.
