"What I want to be when I grow up"

Directed Research Project* Title

* The Directed Research Project was one of the mainstays of the NCHC experience, forcing students to isolate a topic that interested them and then spend several months researching by whatever means possible. Since there was a dearth in available print materials or easy internet access, most of the research was conducted in the form of interviews. The results of the individual research projects were compiled for a research paper and presented at a formal two-day symposium which concluded the semester.

Without a doubt the most important person to participate in the NCHC Spain Semester was Dr. Sheri Spaine-Long, our fearless leader who gave up a lot for us and truly made the semester the success it was.
