off again

Tomorrow I am leaving for 10 days in Alaska with my students from the Native American Plunge so no blogging for a while. This is our newest service-learning alternative spring break. We’re focusing on issues of health care, environment, language and tradition as they relate to native Alaskans in Juneau and Sitka.

This is my last time travelling with students. I’m excited to hit up my 47th state and even more so that I am not in charge. This trip was planned and will be led by our amazing Americorps VISTA, Laura. I just get to sit back and enjoy the 34 degrees of rain and snow.

Lots of great pictures when I return. I’m especially looking forward to seeing a glacier since we’re the last generation that will have them around.

Above is a picture of Sitka taken by the friend of one of our student participants.
