Abstract	Public art installations are part of university campuses across the United States, and these installations can be useful in teaching important geographic concepts, skills, and geovisualization techniques. Using public on-campus art resources in geography classes can both enhance student learning of important geography content, themes, and techniques and potentially contribute to student retention and resilience. This paper discusses the use of one campus art installation, "Roots of Knowledge," in an introductory world regional geography course. The use of this art piece and pedagogical research was informed by the following questions: (1) How can art enhance undergraduate learning, research, and visualization techniques in geography? (2) How can the use of art contribute to the development of critical thinking skills in geography? and (3) How effective is the use of on-campus art resources in connecting students with on-campus resources? It was found that the use of visual arts greatly helped students accomplish our learning objectives, but mixed results were found in the effectiveness of connecting students to on-campus resources.
