Friends, I am a professor of culture and community development at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA. I am interested in the possibility of taking a course at Pacific Rim this summer, but need a bit of information. I would ask my colleague Eric Steinkamp, but I just missed him - he's in Tanzania now! Is there someone I could chat with briefly? I am wondering how courses work, and if students live at the site or commute in. I continue to teach this summer, so this would be an important factor. I am wondering too about costs; I have a small grant that could cover part of tuition, but the weekly site cost would make  it impossible for me - so I am curious if in fact I would pay that in order to take a single course. So many questions!  Thanks in advance for your patience in getting me oriented!
