Many thanks to the professors and alumni who so generously contributed to this trip and particularly to Dean Donald Polden and Professor Stephanie Wildman for their generous support! Special thanks to Gemma Daggs and Dan Schaar, the student leaders of the trip, without whom the trip would not have been possible.
