In late November, Marion Ferguson, program manager for the Corbett British Columbia-Washington International Exchange Program and UW Study Abroad program manager Sarah Berryman traveled to Vancouver and Victoria to visit the two Canadian universities that contribute to the program.

The first half of our exchange to UW from UBC came too quickly, but Parsa, Julia, Leo and I were warmly welcomed to Western Washington University (WWU) for a presentation on our exchange and Canadian/U.S. relationship at CANADA WEEK. Parsa, Leo and I hastily hopped into the UW rental car midday, eating our lunch as
