Weekend Wrap-Up Part 2
How did you spend the last weekend of spring break? I spent the weekend underwater, literally. On Thursday, with a group of about 19 others, I headed down to Fort Lauderdale to complete my open water dives for Scuba certification through NAUI. It was an amazing experience.

Alexandra worked in France, Kimberly studied in India, and Andrew started his Peace Corps Master’s International service in the Philippines.

A number of our graduate students traveled abroad this summer for various reasons. Kimberly Ryan recently shared her adventures in India. Alexandra, a Master of Arts in English candidate, also traveled abroad this summer. Unlike Kimberly’s study abroad, Alexandra spent her summer working in France. I enjoyed hearing her stories and hope you do, too…
