St. Mary's City, Maryland

The SlackWater Center at St. Mary’s College of Maryland is a consortium of students, faculty, and community members focused on the region’s changing landscapes.

Our mission is to explore, document, and interpret what's happening to Chesapeake communities and their surroundings at the dawn of the 21st century. We aim to offer a closer look at the rich and complicated legacies of the past, at the social and environmental challenges facing the present, and at our collective visions for the future.

Explore this web site to learn more about the challenges facing the Tidewater region and the contributions the St. Mary's community is making to these regional discussions.
