Full Pack Mode

With five days to go 'til departure, our crew is being tested once more; this time figuring out how to pack only the most essential items into their single piece of checked luggage AND weighing in under 50 pounds!

The good news is that there will be washers and dryers at our place of residence.

The students, working in various committees, have done all the spade work for this trip, including fundraising, producing cool ID cards, consulting on t-shirts designs, making in-stadium signs, engaging in outreach to obtain local media coverage, and more, in addition to completing most of their academic course requirements consisting of quizzes, book reviews, and research papers.  Presentations of their papers will take place in London during early morning seminars (can you say 7 a.m.?) prior to heading out for each day's full schedule of activities.  This is definitely not the Club Med version of seminar abroad!
