Staff and Faculty

"On behalf of myself and KuC's Summer Science Field Camp team, we would like to thank the student participants, instructors, and NIMA/NICEA Nash Harbor camp support staff for their commitment to this very special project.

Special thanks, congratulations, and recognition for a successful 2006 field camp go out to these folks.  Without YOU we would have never been able to accomplish what we did this summer.  Quyana!"
