Students and staff on the Berlin fall excursion returned to campus on Sunday safe and sound after a very successful weekend. 

“Nobody got lost, hurt, or in trouble….so in my book that is a screaming success!” said Dean of Students, Laura Fox.  

Laura’s husband and dorm parent, Kevin Fox, planned the logistics of the excursion which totalled 27 different activities or attractions taking place over the course of four days with each student participating in 10. Every student had a personal specific itinerary tailored for their own unique experience. 

Between activities, the entire group would reconvene to eat lunch and dinner together. Smaller groups would set off in the morning for various activities or attractions and then meet at a different food hall or market each day for lunchtime and then join this afternoon group for the next activity or attraction. At night, everyone would meet up once again for dinner at a restaurant, a different one each day. 

“I want to thank you the staff for all of their hard work, patience, and flexibility,” said Fox upon returning on Sunday. “Every one of them was a model of professionalism, responsibility, and what it means to be a team player for our students.”
