I’ve arrived in State College today, getting ready for a series of grant meetings, activities with the Department of Geosciences, and presenting at the Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium.

I “crashed” the Fair Trade at Penn State meeting this evening, being run by former Penn State Brandywine student/founding Fair Trade TrailBlazer/now president of the club at University Park (drumroll, please….)… Sarah DeMartino!  I was excited to hear about all the club is doing to promote Fair Trade.  Sarah and I also spoke for an additional hour about what is currently going on in the Fair Trade world, what we would like to see happen, and what we would like to do in our Fair Trade future (watch out, Garstang – Sarah and Dr. G may be coming over there to walk the Fair Trade Way!).

(*I apologize that I originally had a much longer post, but WordPress was not kind to me and deleted my post and the past drafts, too – note to self, copy the post before hitting save!)
