Our study trip is officially over but please stay tuned for more posts from the participants! I'm so grateful to my collaborator, Kristyn, and to this fine group of UM students! I would like to take time to intersperse the students' posts they will be adding to the blog with photos to give you an idea of what our journey has been like, starting with a photo from May 4 at our on-site orientation meeting, where we reviewed expectations, logistics, and the program itinerary. It is hard to believe that that was just three weeks ago! We have accomplished so much in that short time. It feels as if we have all grown so much since the meeting that day! There is nothing quite as special as experiencing an adventure with others, witnessing growth, and sharing experiences.
