As we finish planning and look forward to heading south on Saturday, I want to say thank you to a variety of folks who are supporting this trip. In no particular order, they include:
1. Lee Honors College and Dr. Nick Andreadis who encouraged this class from the beginning and is providing faculty support.
2. WMU's United Campus Ministry and Coleen Slosberg. Coleen is co-teaching the class and has sought financial support to reduce the trip costs to our students. She also has lots of know-how on running an alternative spring break trip.
3. HCoB, Dean Kay Palan, and Robert Landeros (chair of the Management department) for encouraging this non-traditional class.
4. Financial supporters including Southwest Association (United Church of Christ), First Congregational Church of Kalamazoo (UCC). Our students appreciate your generosity!
5. Good Shepherd United Church of Christ in Metairie, LA for providing an affordable home base while in New Orleans.
6. Social Entrepreneurs of New Orleans and Andrea Chen who have embraced this trip from the beginning.
Thanks to all of you. tbp
