On August 29th, new and returning scholars spent the day at NCAR to reunite, team build, and most importantly talk and plan their projects to bring about social change. Highlights include the always fun "blind hike." The retreat was facilitated by adviser extraodinaire Elaina Verveer.  Elvira Ramos of the Community Foundation of Boulder County helped orient new scholars to the many possible partnerships and projects in the local area.  More !
