On a morning when Birmingham is covered with snow and ice, here is a note from Marigene Chamberlain, with our students and faculty in Costa Rica:
We arrived late on January 1. It is a great way to start the new year, in a beautiful, lush country. We've been busy these first few days, getting the students settled in with their host families, taking a tour of the volcano Irazu and the Sarapiqui River where we saw two crocodiles, a sloth, and various tropical birds and howler monkeys, as well as starting classes and having a tour of downtown San Jose. Today we go to a coffee plantation after class.
The world is better because of Samford's appreciation for diverse cultures and convictions.
