I was in the team that tackled Educational issues. We visited a local high school in Providence, Rhode Island - Feinstein High School - and had an interesting exchange.
The mural on Feinstein High School - drawn by the students themselves.
One of the students playing guitar for us in the music room. They even had to learn music composition. Awesome!
Attended a panel on social entrepreneurship by panelists: Prof Alan Harlam (Brown University), Prof Sami Nerenberg (Rhode Island School of Design), Clay Rockefeller (Founder, The Steel Yard) and Lorne Adrain (Founder, Social Venture Partners)
I was hosted for dinner by a local resident (an ex-Fulbright scholar too) at their home together with a Hungarian and an Israelite. The host painted those beautiful paintings and made her own potteries.
We were given a tour of Newport, Rhode Island and visited this magnificent castle. Unfortunately cameras are not allowed in. It seemed that everybody in Newport lives in such huge mansions. The residents lived here only 21 days out of a year! This 70-room mansion housed only 4 family members! They have another mansion in New York with 110 rooms. Go figure!
The side garden stretching and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The view is magnificent.
South Alifson Pier, Newport.
My flight back to Boulder was delayed due to bad weather (yet again!). Had a layover in Dulles, Washington DC. This was a scene early in the morning from my hotel room.
4/20 on April 20 at my campus. This was a scene from Norlin Quad. It was about 12,ooo-strong crowd.
