Study Abroad: Two trips in 2023: 1. Students traveled to SE Asia, which included sites in Vietnam and Thailand. We partnered with several community-based organizations and Chiang Mai University. Over our three weeks in Thailand, students worked with residents to assess environmental conservation efforts and the impacts of development, as well as understand cultural and ethnic diversity in indigenous populations and the region. The second three weeks in Vietnam built student skills in asset-based community development and rapid participatory appraisal.. Local partners continue to work in this community to promote community-driven development initiatives. Participants included 7 university students from the United States. 2. Twelve students participated in fieldwork in the Salish Sea bioregion in NW Washington and Canada to consider the natural history of the region and consider how biodiversity is defined, measured, mapped, and conceptualized by biologists and other scientists. Along the way, they were able to engage with communities that continue to depend on biodiversity despite shifts in land management, climate, and economic needs to learn how they might support those efforts. This program partnered with NGOs and public and Indigenous land managers engaged in the stewardship of biodiversity and cultural heritage. 0 52287 52287 Julia Babcock President 1 3950 0 0 Kelsey Finley Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Leah Lippman Secretary 1 0 0 0 Sou Garner Director 1 0 0 0 Liz Mogford Director 1 0 0 0 Ashley Hollenbeck Director 1 0 0 0 T Abe Lloyd Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rising Sun Accounting PO Box 25726 Seattle WA 98165 2069395442 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 8979 24279 43893 24637 675 102463 8979 24279 43893 24637 675 102463 5418 97045 6 14 4 3 1 28 102491 432122 0.94686 0.96187 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Travel and Program Expenses;38349|Insurance;4384|Office Expenses;3283|Conference and Meetings;1000^Total;47016^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Accounts Receivable
