Hey everyone, I’m Libby! I am an anthropology major at the University of Minnesota and a NOLS Baja Ocean Semester ’07 graduate. I am the new Alumni Department intern at the NOLS Headquarters in lovely Lander, Wyoming where I write for the alumni newspaper The Leader, help with alumni trip planning, bag rations for departing groups, and give alumni talks after students return from the field. I have high hopes to have another NOLS-inspired adventure next spring either by kayaking the full length of the Sea of Cortez, or doing the NOLS Year in the Sonoran course.

Hey, I’m Rachel! I am an undergrad student at Colorado College studying English and journalism. I am two-time NOLS grad. I took an Idaho Backpacking and Rafting course in 2006 and the Alaska Backpacking and Sea Kayaking course in 2007. I am the new publications intern and this summer, I will be writing for and designing the summer issue of The Leader and helping with the 2010 course catalog in addition to other smaller projects around HQ. I hope to do the NOLS Rock and River course sometime in the future.

We are just starting to settle in here in Lander and to the NOLS lifestyle. The weather is beautiful and we can’t wait to get up into the mountains. Keep a lookout for the upcoming issue of The Leader which features a delicious cheesy hushpuppies recipe contributed by a NOLS grad and tested by us!

Cheers!
