I get the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica this Sunday with a group of my colleagues at Purdue Extension to experience the “Tico” culture and learn a little Spanish! We have a great group of Extension professionals going on the trip. Seven of the participants are Health and Human Science Educators who work in communities throughout Indiana to improve the quality of lives for Indiana residents through community based education. Two of the participants are Extension Specialists and Administrators in the College of Health and Human Sciences at Purdue University who provide leadership for the identification, development, implementation, and evaluation of Extension programming associated with the College of Health and Human Sciences. And last but certainly not least is our faculty guide from the School of Nursing. I am sure that we will all come to appreciate her throughout the trip for many reasons – but most importantly – she speaks fluent Spanish!!
