Greetings!
This week we welcome back our students whose Winter Term travels took them to Malawi, London, China, Ecuador and many other destinations. In all nearly 300 Eckerd students and faculty were 'thinking outside' at 16 destinations around the globe this January. Take a moment to ask them about their travels and what they learned--you won't be disappointed.
We also welcome you back to the biweekly Inside Eckerd newsletter, which provides you with news and information about what's happening at Eckerd College. Please visit the Inside Eckerd archives page to see past issues or invite a friend to join the mailing list. Help us build our Inside Eckerd network by sharing this email with your friends and family 'outside Eckerd'. Enjoy!
