We leave tomorrow!

As time draws closer to our departure and our anticipation rises, we decided to do some preliminary cultural exchange here in Kansas City. This past Monday, Beth, Jeanette, Kaity and Mr. Clark attended the 14th Biennial Edgar Snow Symposium. While at the symposium, they were able to meet  high school students from the Beijing National Day School and share about our upcoming trip.

 

On Tuesday, we were able to spend more one on one time with the students from the Beijing National Day School as we showed them around UMKC. What a great opportunity to interact and share our lives with our international friends.

Today is Tuesday, October 19, 2010 and we leave for Beijing, China in 3 days.  It has been an interesting last few months; after many revisions and lots of interviews our SIFE team now has a great presentation to give to the students in China.

This year’s travel team is

Austin Hunt – President of the SIFE team

Beth Larson – VP of the SIFE team

Kaity Claren – VP of the SIFE team

Jeanette Glaze – Director of Projects

Kendra Konrady – Director of Recruitment

Jason Patterson – Past President of the SIFE team

Cary Clark – Sam Walton Fellow

Jeremy Hegle – Business Advisory Board member and former SIFE Student

Our flight leaves Kansas City on Friday, October 22^nd, 2010 at 5:00 pm and we will keep this blog up to date during our trip, so please check back often and share our trip with us.

Thanks for looking… Jason
