Seasons Greetings!

The past several months have been super busy filled with travel, teaching classes, research, meetings, and packing on some pounds eating southern comfort food. I'm currently in Toronto spending time with family for the holidays before the semester starts again in January.

The last time on the blog, I reported on developing a faculty-led study abroad trip. In June of this year, I embarked on one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in my life -- taking 18 students on a 10-day trip to tour some of the most remarkable sights in Switzerland and France.  The trip was amazing but it surely was not absent of adaptive challenges!

Prior to the Switzerland trip, I was in Greece developing a future study abroad experience. During my time there I spent most my time in the islands of Rhodes and Crete.

In addition to seeing new sights, I've been able to munch on some really tasty desserts like the bread pudding pictured below. 

I hope all is well and that the New Year brings great joy and good favor to everyone!

XOXO
