Earlier this week I returned from Portland, Oregon, where I spent two and a half weeks at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication (SIIC). I participated in the SIIC internship program with 34 interculturalists from around the world. As interns, we participated in workshops with regular participants, plus had an additional week of intercultural teamwork training and did much of the behind-the-scenes work. Basically, it was a work hard, play hard, learn and grow a lot environment. It is impossible to explain what an amazing experience this was in words, so I will simply post a few of my favorite photos. My most humble thanks to my fellow SIIC participants!
One afternoon off, a group of us interns made a trip to the Oregon coast, which was absolutely gorgeous!
Karaoke night each week contributed to the summer camp feel.
The faculty and interns with whom I worked during the second session--we had so much fun (oh, and learned a lot too)!
Hanging out in the intern lounge in Bragdon Hall at Reed College.
Stay tuned for an update on how Emilia and AgustÃn (and grandma, who watched Emilia during the days) did while I was gone.
