great job! I think it’s fantastic. Nice use of white space and photographs. Clean layout. I like the new size. It’s inviting … great job! jodi Genest, in response to a question on LinkedIn about the new Leader format. Thanks, Jodi! Soy ink? I really like the new format of the Leader, and how open to feedback you were after the first issue (I have old eyes too!). I also like that you are focusing on non-printed formats. While in print, I assume it is printed with soy ink on recycled paper, but if so, I didn’t see that referenced anywhere and would encourage you sharing that info. jay satz, via email
Faculty Summit Feedback This was my favorite talk from the summit this year. In the frontcountry the iPhone is my watch, my camera, my GPS, my reference guide. With advancements in battery life and connectivity these multi-use devices will find themselves deep in the backcountry. How we choose to deal with that fact will be interesting to see. William roth on the NOLS.TV video of the Faculty Summit forum about technology in the field. Thanks, William (one of our own here at NOLS Creative) for helping make these videos available to anyone interested and for being part of the conversation!

The Leader is printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper made from 30 percent post-consumer-recycled fiber. NOLS always tries to use paper from responsibly-managed forests, and we even track school-wide paper use on outsourced print projects. We’re psyched to share that we’ve increased our use of FSC-certified paper from 72 percent of all projects in 2009 to over 96 percent in 2011! And yes, the inks used in publications like The Leader are soy-based.
We asked, “are you a Wilderness First responder?” Will Friday Since 1987 (early Wild EMT,
then WFR ever since). I’m one of the curmudgeons in the re-cert class who comes in to the re-cert grumbling and walks away having learned more than one new thing, again. tim lanSing Wilderness EMT currently
daniel asked nolS alumni what they think is the best way to list nolS experience in a linkedin profile. The answers can also apply to resumes for impressing your next boss: alliSon I list my NOLS course under the educa-
tion section, and since I also work in town for NOLS, I describe that as work experience.
