It's fall semester/trimester, and we are all busy with new classes and projects. I wanted to add a last entry to our website so that I could summarize the last events of our experience.

We met before we traveled to begin our work for the class :International Education¿ which was embedded in the travel. During our three 3-hour classes before we left, we built our community, thought about any issues we might have during this travel experience and ways we could solve them, and learned about a model we used to compare systems of education here and in Namibia. Each student received a $1,000.00 scholarship toward the trip, and our charge was to learn more about the concept of vocation. We began by defining it for ourselves and thinking of people in our lives that we see as having a vocation. The story of our travel is in the journal entries and photos in the website. Students spent 3 weeks in Namibia as researchers observing, interviewing, taking photos, writing, communicating with Namibians and each other, and two weeks after returning we had the last class during which they presented their 'findings'.

I would like to thank Betsey Norgard, editor of the NOW magazine, for her valuable contributions as a co-leader of the group. She was fully engaged with the students, took such amazing photographs and sent them back to our website. Since our travel she has worked to spread our story to others on campus and beyond.
