Thank You Janeen Hutchins, and Good Luck in Lander!

The staff of NOLS Southwest would like to take this opportunity to thank Janeen Hutchins for her leadership, vision, hard work, and friendship during the last three and a half years she has spent as the Southwest Director. During her tenure, construction of the infamous shower house was completed, a canoe barn was built, and three staff housing yurts were added to the facility. The Southwest also saw a growth in course types with the addition of a Lightweight Backpacking course and the WMI Medicine in the Wild program. We would also like to note that the very collaborative tone that Janeen set was the cornerstone of our community.Janeen is moving to NOLS International Headquarters as the new Field Staffing Director, and we think the HQ is darned lucky to have her.
