Happy New Year! I hope that you had a great holiday season. We're in full swing here with RDP students back on campus, at the Kino Bay station, and all over the western states for block course work.
We're looking for energetic alumni volunteers who want to rally support for Prescott College during the 2004 Annual Fund Phonathon the first two weeks of March. Last year we had an incredibly successful phonathon with the help of alumni callers. Please contact me for more info...and, I promise, it'll be fun!
Finally, congratulations to our newest alumni - the December RDP, ADP, and MAP graduates. Good luck as you embark on this new part of your journey, and remember to keep in touch!

Hi y,all! I am back living at home in the beautiful hills of Western Massachusetts. My fiance, Elaina, and I just had our baby in September! Her name is Solia A'marie and she is now three months old, healthy and growing as babies do. It is a joy to watch her changing and learning each day. I am now a mortgage consultant, running a business right out of my home, so I get to be with them alot. As much as I enjoy helping folks to achieve their dreams of owning homes, I do sit in front of a computer too much. I get out a little, though, to ski the park, snowboard, climb, run or swim here and there, and recently started coaching my local high school's alpine ski racing team. Playing percussion and singing for dance classes and a regional band keep the creative juices flowing.... My band is called Wakarusa and we do a mix of Latin, Brazilian, West African and Middle Eastern world music. We are in the midst of recording, so if you want a listen, email me for a sampler and send some of your own news! Oh, we also just bought ten acres with awesome bouldering (common in the Biscuit, but miraculous out here!) - we hope to build in the next couple of years. In the meantime, we have a guest room at our house, so if you are passing through for some of the world class bouldering (V15!) at the Rez in Great Barrington, MA, feel free to impose. Blessings to all the Prescott Community - I miss you a ton....

Just moved from sunny San Francisco to sunny (and chilly) Portland, Maine. Took the job as Manager of Integrative Care at Mercy Hospital, moved in with my fiance, and am loving life!! Continuing with my committed (Tibetan) Buddhist practice, enjoying Maine's woods, back-country, coastline, nature, and kayak paradise.

I have always appreciated my experience at Prescott College. It definitely helped sculpt my intellect. I work as an engineer, but I apply the teachings from PC everyday.
Angela Hawse (RDP '86, MAP '01) recently led a successful all-women's expedition to Ama Dablam (22,494 ft.), in Nepal. On November 9th, Angela reached the summit with one client. Her nine member team, called the mAmas Dablam '03 , worked together for over a year and a half to raise money for The dZi Foundation's project, to start a safe house for girls at risk, in Sikkim, India. To date, the mAmas have raised $19,578 for the project. The majority of the team met and conceptualized the expedition at Chicks with Picks, (an all women's ice climbing clinic founded by PC Alum, Kim Reynolds (RDP '83) in Ouray, Colorado. For more information and photos of the expedition visit http://www.mamasdablam.org.

Hi PC! So much to tell. After moving on from the ponderosa pine-filled forests of Prescott, I moved to Fort Collins, CO. A few years were all I could handle in the childcare profession, and somehow I took a job at New Belgium Brewing Company (you remember Fat Tire Amber Ale, don't you?). I started at the brewery doing tours and tastings, but soon created my job as Sustainability Goddess. I've now been there about 3.5 years and am loving my job. New Belgium has had a huge impact on my life; it is also where I met my soul mate and husband, John. We recently moved from Fort Collins to Golden (no, I'm not working for Coors!), which allows me to work from home 4 days a week and car commute only one. I think about Prescott often, and had a great chance to relive some memories during my master's program at Antioch University Seattle with Chas Offutt. I graduated from that program last December and am now officially "Master Mizia" with an MA in Environment and Community. So, if you find yourself wondering Northern Colorado and wishing you had an old friend or a beer, give me a call!

Want to thank those at Prescott College who offered hope, possibility and practical help that contributed to my belief and courage to pursue an education: Tim, Terril, Barbara Mc. Inspired and stimulated by the outcome of my B.A. I returned to California and went for my M.S. in psychology and in July, 2004 will complete my doctorate in psychology. It has been a wonder-filled journey. For the last five years I've worked as a crisis therapist for a hospital in Lancaster, CA (the northern most tip of Los Angeles County), and earned hours toward eventual licensure, with a licensed clinical psychologist. Come January, 2004 I will teach in the Addiction Certification Program for CSUB. My passion is teaching, whether with patients at the hospital or those who plan a career as a Certified Drug/Alcohol Counselor. My life is full, and filled with gratitude for those educators at Prescott College who gave me a glimpse of what could be possible with a higher education. a.gassaway@att.net

Hi all. I am living in Jackson, WY and have been for 4 years. I am working as a Program Coordinator for a local non-profit. I have also started working on getting my Master's in Business Administration of all things. I am loving skiing and life in the mountains. I have a great man in my life who enjoys the good things in life as much as I do. I made it back for the Alumni Reunion and it was great to see Leah Lamb, Kristine Preziosi, and other lovely faces. I do miss the desert air when it is -20 and cloudy. I would love to hear from all of you "lost friends"- I stink at keeping in touch and apologize but CALL ME!! Also if you wanna come and ski- well it would be good to contact me. Take care and talk soon. mitchskm@hotmail.com
