	Our teaching staff this spring welcomes two returning Au Sable alums along with one fresh face that we are more than happy to have. &nbsp;Sadie Wunder took classes at both Pacific Rim and the Great Lakes campuses.&nbsp; Her previous experience with Au Sable runs the gamut from student to volunteer, and now finally to environmental education intern.&nbsp; A graduate of Messiah College, Sadie has spent the past 2 winters working as a <a href="http://ausable.org/courses/student_profiles/">fisheries observer in Alaska</a>.&nbsp; Sadie&rsquo;s warm (to sometimes dry!) humor helps to lighten the moments when teaching at Au Sable begins to feel like work.</p>
