ne year ago today, two surers paddled out into the unknown. Uncertain o the conditions, andsolely confdent in our abilities, we mirrored the students we aimed to engage and were yet tomeet.Caé Abroad soon evolved into something much bigger than ideas and ideals. It’s about students. Andthe experiences students have shared to date have taken us arther than our imaginations or waning bankaccounts could ever go.Amanda Yngelmo (Georgetown ’09) scoured the depths o Fijian dive sites - her uorescent pink diveknie strapped to her leg incase any danger arose that she couldn’t diuse with her sense o humor. Toavoid a downpour in Dublin, Mark DeWine (College o Wooster ’09) camped inside an elevator shatater the crowds dissipated ollowing the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Nick Corasaniti (Ithaca College ’09)sampled new species o wildlie at an international ood estival in Hokitika, New Zealand.Dozens more added insights and scribed stories, some o which we saved or months to spotlight inInPRINT. Enclosed, Matt Williams and Julia Bottles scour the psychological and physical landscapeso personal exploration in Senegal and Manchester. On international flm, music and sports, DinaMagaril, Jamie Andrew and Ben Strauss dig up sights, sounds and scores, rom the underground on threecontinents.We hope that these stories, and hundreds more online, will captivate your curiosity, sense o adventureand passion or learning. The waters o your personal journey ahead are yet uncharted..Dive in.
