Maryland and West Virginia

Takin' off for West Virginia tomorrow! It'll be exciting to meet the other Doris Duke Conservation types (and Wyss fellows) and talk about environmental issues (and generally get to know one another). I am not generally a fan of networking functions, but this one sounds pretty unique and exciting. Adventures include lectures on Wildlife Conservation and Global Climate Change, leadership seminar, a trip to Antietam, hiking, and somehow fitting schoolwork into this picture. I've certainly enjoyed my time with the UM people who are going on this trip...since we were selected using the same criteria, I can only imagine that this weekend will be more of the fun-filled conservation-y same!
