Santiago de Chile


Our group from ISU at the Valle Nevado Ski Resort at 10,000 ft. in the Andes mountains. We're here to discuss international exchanges for faculty and students at 3 universities in Chile and 1 in Mendoza, Argentina. This is Kiki, Jeff, me, Aslihan, and Klaus. Jeff is our college dean, his wife Kiki, Aslihan - professor from Agriculture, and Klaus - professor from Technology
