After reviewing the brief program descriptions outlined below,
please
consider offering these opportunities to Students, Faculty and
other interested parties....detailed WORKSHOP ITINERARIES and REFERENCES
from past participants are available upon request.

During 1999 forty six universities were represented by faculty, students
and staff along with community colleges, high school groups, science
professionals and lay people with an interest in natural history and
other topics covered in our programs. Participants came from across the
U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and the Far East. Groups included Penn
State University, Purdue University, University of Maine, Muhlenberg
College of Pennsylvania and the College of New Jersey to name a few.

Undergraduate and Graduate credit is available for all programs through
Aquinas College of Grand Rapids, Michigan (details below). Credit for
our course in Australia is also available through James Cook University,
Queensland, Australia.

CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS can be designed for "special interest groups".

New programs for 2001 include....."Primates of Costa Rica" and
"Rainforests, Volcanoes and Coral Reefs of Hawaii".

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Mike Nolan, Director
