The past few months might not have been
busy with family gatherings, dinner with
friends or road trips, but we’ve still
managed to roll right through summer and
into September. A new semester has
started for many and it likely looks
very different for each of you; whether
online, in-class, or a hybrid, we hope
you’re settling in and keeping safe.
We have a lot of exciting things to
share in this newsletter, including the
return of our 15th annual Travel Video
Contest. It’s open for entries starting
today and since everything seems to be a
little bit different this year, so is
our contest. However, we think this is a
change during 2020 you will actually
like!
We hope you enjoy the newsletter and
stay well.
