Colorado College Alumni

When Rob and Susan White ’76 (pictured in the first image) decided to join their fellow alumni on the recent Tiger Travel trip to Africa, they looked forward to the opportunity to learn from professor Danielle Sanchez. The professor used her expertise as a historian of Africa to facilitate the travelers’ learning as they explored landmarks and culture over the 10 day excursion. To Rob White, the CC connection and lectures by Sanchez were a highlight of the journey.
