NCHC Conferences - 2009 / Washington, DC / Honors in the Global City
Though the leaves in Maine had already changed, we drove 14 hours south and were able to experience the colors of autumn all over again in our nation’s capital! Twenty-one students, five faculty members, and 5 staff members attended the NCHC conference in Washington, DC from 28 October through 1 November. Trip highlights? Here are just a few: a screening of the documentary film, The Linguists, about endangered languages around the world; proudly accepting another 1st place award for our magazine, MINERVA; a performance (in our hotel!) by the Capitol Steps; and a stealthy group photo at the pool– totally worth the effort! Check out our gallery below to find that sneaky snapshot, and more.
This year’s trip had a special send-off: in early October, many of our students were able to meet Betsy ‘55 and Bill Leitch, who make this trip possible each year. It was a wonderful visit and we are all grateful for their support of research and travel at the Honors College.
