| Caitlin Douglass '14 G'16 Shares Stories from the Alumni India Trip Caitlin Douglass '14 G'16, and a group of fellow alumni recently traveled to India on a Champlian-organized service trip. Caitlin shared their adventures in a blog she created. Read more here .
"One of my favorite parts of traveling extends beyond the sights one can see and includes not just the diversity of people's ideas, but trying to have a greater understanding of their motivations and perspectives. I find so much of the emotion that drives us to be excited to return home stems from our own ideals and views butting up against that of the culture we're confronted with." - Caitlin
