The First Years narrowly missed a rainy day for the annual First Year Field Trip to Sue-Meg State Park. We had a great time touring a reconstructed Yurok village, guided by State Park staff Cochise, and taking a nature hike to Wedding Rock with sweeping views of the Pacific Coast. To top it off, students returned to campus for a team-based scavenger hunt with a crew of helpful Fourth Years guiding the troops.
