Latin American adventures!

[goglobalatsnu.blogspot.com]

It has been a good spring, summer and now fall for Southern Nazarene University students studying in Latin America. In the spring, Rachel Ekdahl studied at the Latin American Studies Program (LASP) in Costa Rica and Rachel Cadwallader, Abby McCrummen, Lindsey Rochester and Mat Wood studied at the Nazarene International Language Institute (NILI) in Ecuador. The students at NILI were joined by Dr. Howard Culbertson who spent a sabbatical semester teaching a class and studying Spanish at NILI. Then Kyle Sides studied at NILI over the summer. Now we have four more students at LASP for the fall semester. Erin Fitzgerald, Destry Howland, Sarah Stocks and Rhea Woodcock arrived in San José, Costa Rica, just a few days ago. I heard that at least one of them had a little bit of an adventure getting there but finally made it.

For any SNU students interested in studying at LASP (or just thinking about it), this semester is a great opportunity to keep up with some first hand accounts of what it is like to study there. Erin and Rhea are writing blogs (http://erin-fitz.blogspot.com/ and http://rheaincostarica.blogspot.com/) and Destry has an open Facebook group going called Destry in Costa Rica. Follow Erin's and Rhea's blogs and Destry's group and keep up with the adventure.
