Beyond the grant funding, the growth in recognition and his newly established position in Facilities, Ojala-Barbour mostly emphasized the importance of local land stewardship and a dedication to sustainability issues. “PLU’s habitat has value. The natural area is important and connected to other habitats in the area,” he said. “It isn’t an island

heavy workload, but it is also fun, so it doesn’t feel like work. We are making a simulation for small satellites. I work remotely for the Langley Research Center in Virginia, and my mentor there has really helped me with making connections while working virtually. The three-hour difference in time zones is a bit of a challenge, but it is manageable. One of my biggest takeaways from working with NASA is the importance of always being ready to learn new things.

Walk down any market in Mexico, he said, and it’s not unusual to see a rainbow of feathers stuffed in small cartons or other exotic animals in cages piled 10 to 12 feet deep. Anything – from monkeys to jaguars – can be had for a price. And no one has a good fix on just how many animals are in the pipeline, Bergman said to a gathering of about 200 people last week in the University Center

All five will be featured in the NAFSA report Internationalizing the Campus 2009: Profiles of the Success at Colleges and Universities, which will be published this fall.
