About 35 Pepperdine students arrived in Lausanne all through Wednesday evening. Thursday night there was a reception and Wife was able to meet many of the young women and men who will spend a semester “studying” in Lausanne. We hope to be of some spiritual help and will be spending as much time as possible with them. Mary, a good friend and ex-neighbor is directing the first year. Carolyn Hunter is the visiting faculty member. She and Wife became good friends in 2006 during Carolyn’s three-month stay preparing the terrain for the newest city in Pepperdine’s International program. There are already campuses in London, Heidelberg, Florence and Buenos Aires. I heard next year for Lausanne is already filled up.

Many of the students are skiers, so the big question was: Where’s the snow? Temps are way up since last week’s storm. We are averaging 10 degrees above normal. The snowline is now around 6,000 feet. Although it’s not unusual to get a warm day from time to time, so long and so warm IS unusual.

Four days of study, three days a week for traveling, some individual sporting activity for PE credit… Makes me wish I were a student again. Oh, forgot: student loans…
