Travis Tennessen
Director, Center for Community Learning
360.650.2446
Travis’s childhood adventures in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin (Sauk and Meskwaki territory) and Alaska’s Kodiak Archipelago (Alutiiq/Sugpiak territory) inspired his curiosity about human-environment interactions and eagerness to help our species live more peacefully, collaboratively, and gently. He works to infuse an ethic and practice of place-based learning throughout the university and the region. Travis initiated Community Engagement Fellows in 2015, and serves as the lead convener. He received his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
