2011 is coming to an end, but our work continues.
2011 was an active and fulfilling year for OTS students and researchers. Our graduate and undergraduate programs ran at near capacity and we launched a new summer course, Global Health Issues, in South Africa. Our three field stations in Costa Rica had record visitation; we coordinated multiple new research projects and hosted numerous educational groups from our own programs and outside faculty-led academic groups. Yes, the economy continued to present challenges, but with a determined effort from the entire organization, we succeeded and continued transforming the lives of hundreds of students and researchers.
Join us today and make 2012 even better!
With your support, together, we can continue to provide cutting edge educational and research opportunities at our stations and around the globe. In return, we'd be happy to send you (or as a gift to another) a fabulous 2012 calendar or our amazing 2012 t-shirt.
