Recognition

I gave a presentation last spring with two colleagues concerning my work with Family Learning Events at an international conference. I didn't know it but the editor of The Hispanic Outlook In Higher Education - a monthly magazine affiliated with the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education (AAHHE)- attended our session. The result was much interest in our work which led to many phone and written interviews. The article was just published in this month's issue. I am so pleased that our work is receiving international recognition and know the ripples are affecting other schools and students! Such a blessing!!

Meet Loki

Loki the dolphin was on board a helicopter this week - Jen was the pilot. She was in charge of transporting Loki to another location. She sent me this pic from her iphone and of course I had NO idea why! It turns out that Loki, and 3 other of Loki's comrades work for the Navy. They are marine soldiers. Jen said it was the only time in her career that she didn't want to fly - she had so much fun petting the dolphins as they waited, listening to them cackle and smile at her and they chattered the whole way. Of course, the dolphins are sworn to secrecy on their future assignments. You can see more about the Navy Marine Mammal Program here. Jen made four friends that she will never forget!!
