Join us in Winter 2008 for
The Ecological and Cultural Geography of Belize
Join us for this unique trip to the tropics during Winter Break. During seven days in the rainforest interior we will visit the major Mayan archaeological sites and national parks in the region. We will also examine the cultural and economic contributions of subsequent inhabitants, such as the Spanish, British, Africans, Garifuna, and Mennonites. We then head to the cayes in the Caribbean and stay in a World Heritage Site. Here you will have a chance to study ecological conservation up close (even with nurse sharks and sting rays if you want!). Spaces are limited, and community members are welcome.

Virtual PC is a powerful software virtualization solution that allows you to run multiple PC-based operating systems simultaneously on one workstation, providing a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system. It also saves reconfiguration time, so your support, development, and training staff can work more efficiently.
