Spanish Language & Cultural Immersion Program
July 14-28, 2008
Join Eureka Adult School counselor Monica Rivera, a former 20-year resident of Guatemala, for two-weeks of immersion in the language and culture of the colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala. Language instruction is provided by the Union School of Antigua, the same school that prepares Peace Corps volunteers for fieldwork in Guatemalan communities.

The program cost includes round trip airfare out of Arcata/McKinleyville, transportation within Guatemala, lodging and breakfast each day, Spanish language class, field and side trips, and weekend trips. Stay in the Hotel-Museum Uxlabil, which is one block from the Central Plaza and three blocks from the Union School of Antigua.
Additional included adventures are weekend trips to Tikal and Lake Atitlan; a guided climb up the volcano Pacaya; coffee, macadamia nut and orchid farms; artisan factories of jade, silver and textiles; art galleries and museums; churches and cathedrals; markets; and salsa and meringue dance lessons.
While many of those who are joining this excursion are educators, it is not a pre-requisite for the program. It is important that you either attend a pre-trip orientation meeting or receive an orientation from the program coordinator, Monica Rivera, prior to registering for the program.
Program cost is approximately $2,000 per person.
Five units of academic credit are available through the Office of Extended Education at Humboldt State University for an additional fee of $200.

Native Bees of Local Gardens & Farms
Bees play vital roles in wild, garden, and agricultural settings – yet we know very little about our local bee communities. This course is an introduction to the natural history and diversity of our local native bees. Students will learn how to identify common species, how to prepare professional voucher specimens, and how to create bee-friendly habitat conditions. Instruction will include microscopic examination of bees in the laboratory as well as field trips to nearby sites. The ultimate goal of the course is to prepare a group of enthusiasts who would be willing to participate in on-going surveys of our bee communities.
Materials needed for course: standard insect net, kill jar, a supply of #2 insect pins, a box suitable for storing specimens, and a pair of good quality forceps [Students should contact the instructor (mrm1@humboldt.edu) two weeks before the course begins for advice.]
Note: Students must be willing to make collections, requiring the killing of a limited number of bees.
Texts: students should contact the instructor for a list of useful online references.

Michael Mesler, Ph.D., is a Professor in the biological sciences dept. at Humboldt State University. “My research interests fall into three sets, reflecting the idiosyncrasies of my development as a biologist: mating biology of ferns; evolutionary consequences of hybridization; and pollination ecology. These days most of my work is centered on the interactions between flowers and pollinators. Recently I have developed a tremendously fun obsession with bees. Northern California is so rich in native plants and bees that I feel like I am in pollination heaven.”
Pete Haggard received a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management from Humboldt State University. He has collected, photographed and identified thousands of insects of the Pacific Northwest and maintained a database of hundreds of insect species. He is co-author of Insects of the Pacific Northwest and has contributed to several other publications.
