Happy 8th Birthday Fasha
Fasha definitely had a blast in his small birthday party in Wilderness Wisconsin Dells. He invited Min-Sung and Yoav. Coincidentally, Min-Sung and Yoav shared many similarities. Min-Sung was our neighbor right above us when we were in the #506 building, while Yoav was in #907 building also right above us. And of course they go to the same school and play in the same soccer club.
Happy birthday Fasha! And thank you Min-Sung and Yoav for coming to celebrate Fasha’s birthday.

A successful community-based research class
A little over a year ago, I learned that our proposal for a capstone class to the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies got accepted. I literally jumped off my chair when reading the email from the selection comittee; I was so happy. Supported by the Nelson Institute’s Community Environmental Scholars program, Charlotte Zieve, and the Morgridge Center for Public Service, the class had been finalized by holding a public event last week as our final meeting. It was indeed a successful class. We had a group of twelve highly motivated undergraduate students, and had the support of fourteen dedicated The Natural Step Monona volunteers. I both thanked and congratulated them for this. The following link will bring you to a news coverage by the Herald Independent about the event.
