Students in WT’s Honors Program will soon be packing their bags for an adventure at the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. The three-day weekend trip will take place this month.

“Bill Banks is the person who organized the trip and will also be leading the students of the honors program,” Kathey Walker, administrative director at the office of Attebury Honors Program, said. “Trudy Hanson will be one of the sponsors going on the trip.”

“On this trip, students will be learning about outdoor safety and background education,” Walker said. Before the students begin traveling, they were encouraged to get plenty of cardiovascular exercise.“We have encouraged the students to prepare physically for this trip,” Trudy L. Hanson, chair of the Department of Communication and sponsor of the honors trip, said. “We will be camping for five hours and all equipment will be provided. Students just have to bring their own personal items.”
