on the cover: Nearing the end of a four-day float trip down the Green River in Utah this May with the River Communities class, Daniel Keane ’16 takes a moment during a lunch break in Gray Canyon to reflect on the experience and soak up the scenery so different from that of his hometown of Wilmington, Mass. Photo: Michael Seamans on this page: Members of the River Communities class enjoyed this view from their campground in Utah’s Arches National Park in May.
