discovery CONTENTS IT IS MID-JUNE AS I SIT TO WORK ON PULLING THE ARTICLES AND PICTURES TOGETHER FOR THIS NEWSLETTER, AND I CANNOT HELP TO THINK ABOUT THE “EXTRA MILE,” OR IN OUR CASE HERE, “LEAGUES OF MILES” OUR FACULTY AND STAFF GO WHEN THEY PUT TOGETHER AND LEAD THESE TRIPS.

As the “point person” back on campus for our summer trips, I have the responsibility of fielding calls from our trip leaders if they have a situation arise that requires assistance from the main office. Fortunately, our trip leaders are well trained before heading off into the field with students, and seldom require our help, but they know if they need it, either myself, or Louise Wright, associate director of international programs, are available. Our faculty are confident enough when they depart Lawrenceville that they know how to handle flight problems, money issues, medical situations…anything that could throw an unprepared trip leader into a panic, our trip leaders handle with a high degree of care and professionalism. Our Program and Trip Leaders have worked hard to get to this point and they have our full confidence when they travel with our students. Ultimately this program can’t exist without the great work, effort, care, and time our faculty and staff put forth in creating and leading these trips. Currently our trip leaders for our 2014 trips are finalizing their trip plans for the season ahead, looking not only at the travel plans with itinerary and activities, but also putting together trip related curriculum, and researching the opportunities, risks, and possible hazards associated with their specific journey.These trip leaders will be active in their trip advertisement, and later, planning sessions with their groups. All of this on top of the already incredible and time intensive job of teaching, coaching, advising, and so much more. Wow! So please, as you read through the newsletter and learn about our travel experiences through the pictures and reflections offered from our students, please celebrate with me the faculty and staff who led these trips. They give so much of themselves - not only opening new doors and experiences for our students on our incredible Lawrenceville campus - but also in the field and around the world. Here’s to our trip leaders!
