ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Erik
Schlimmer, who teaches outdoor education in the
Physical Education
Department at the SUNY College at Oneonta, worked as a MADE coach
on the MTV reality-television self-improvement series this summer. His
assignment was to help two female college students learn to be survivalists.
The episode featuring Schlimmer will air on MTV at 2 p.m. on Saturday,
November 1.
The series was taped over a seven-week period during the summer in
Alaska, Michigan, and New York.
Schlimmer, who is the author of the book Thru Hiker's Guide to America,
also made news recently by climbing the 35 highest peaks in the Catskills in
a one-week hike from May 10 to May 16.
Currently in its ninth season, MADE is MTV's
second-longest-running reality television series, and it has received two
Daytime Emmy Awards. The series follows teens who wish to be "made" into
particular roles, such as singers or athletes. The teens are joined by a
MADE coach, an expert in their chosen field, who tries to help them
attain their goals over several weeks.
