In the practicum we are learning how to braid the horses manes and getting the horse presentable for an in hand class. We are also learning more about lunging and how to trailer. Kat Bordewieck shares: I love Cornell University as an Animal Science major. I work at the school’s Raptor center and am applying for my migratory bird license. I am about to go on spring break to Martha’s Vineyard with my boyfriend so I’m in the middle of midterms now. This summer I’ve got an internship with the Vermont Institute of Natural Science as well as the usual wildlife rehabilitation. Dylan Tomalin tells us: I’m at Connecticut College this year and I like it a lot. I’m playing club lacrosse and work with the peer education group on campus. I’m a Human Development major and this summer I am working at a therapeutic camp in VT for kids with mental health and emotional needs. Sophie Dorsh writes: I am still an equine management major at the University of Kentucky. I also work weekends at the barn where Katherine Short keeps her horse Lil. Super pumped about basketball this month; everyone wish UK luck in the finals! Leah Zraunig shares: I’m still at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. Currently, I am a Criminal Justice major and I decided that I specifically want to work with juveniles and abused children. I took part in intramural basketball in the winter, and this spring I will be playing intramural soccer and club softball. I’m also in the Criminal Justice Club and hopefully I will be able to get an internship in the Manchester area in my field of work. I still love it here! Irina Bouchard writes: I just moved to Westbrook, Maine with my boyfriend Tim. Still have the same job. I am looking to start a possible internship with dog trainers around me. School is still on hold due to my mom

being sick, but making the best of things. Laura Newton shares: This trimester I am in Jacksonville, Florida where I have an internship at a bakery called Bakery Moderne. The internship is for 11 weeks and I love it so far! The bakery makes everything from scratch everyday and also supports other local businesses. I’m very excited to learn more and gain a better understanding of what it takes to run a bakery. After this, I will be done with JWU and ready to graduate school in May with my A.S. in Baking and Pastry Arts. I am planning to be back in Greenfield this summer, hopefully getting a job at a local bakery and then transferring in the fall to another college to finish my Bachelors degree in Business and Restaurant Management with a minor in Entrepreneurship. Kim Balk tells us: All is good at Kalamazoo College. I am planning to go to Taiwan during July and August for more Chinese education. I am studying abroad next year in Beijing and then to Harbin for nine months. I am an East Asian Studies Major with a minor in International studies. I started taking Japanese and plan to minor in that as well. Ashley Daigle writes: I’m still at Goucher College, loving life. This semester I am taking a ton of dance classes and also started with my communications minor. I am currently in three dance pieces for our spring dance concert in April and plan on going back to Burklyn Ballet Theatre this summer as a full time counselor for six weeks. My biggest news is that I will be studying abroad in Taipei, Taiwan for the fall of 2012 for five months. I will be studying dance at Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) with one other Goucher student. I’m both extremely excited and nervous for this coming experience! Emily Gray writes: I am at Simmons College in Boston. I am in my second semester because last year I took a year off to work and train ponies at Maplewood Farm. I am still undecided on my major but I love the school a ton! I work at another small farm Tuesdays and Thursdays and Saturdays. I was on the COF (Colleges of the Fenway) cheer team fall of 2011. I just went to Canada on spring break to go skiing; tons of fun.
Bryna Cofrin-Shaw writes: Hi everybody! I miss you guys! I’m still loving Brown; I’m busy playing Ultimate Frisbee and writing and performing in Brown’s sketch comedy group, Out of Bounds, along with being a Women’s Peer Counselor (RA specifically for women’s/gender/sexuality issues). I’m also an Environmental Studies major! Sheba Odei shares: Hi Everyone! Williams is still awesome. I received a fellowship this Winter and had the opportunity to study Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. Other than that I am still active in the Williams’ Women of Color Coalition and a member of our West African Dance and Percussion Company, Kusika. This year I am a Baxter Fellow in my dorm (my job is similar to that of an RA at SBS). I am a Chinese and Biology double major. I am nervously waiting to hear back from numerous pre-med programs I applied to for this summer.
