Association for Experiential Education ~ 2007
International Conference, Little Rock, AR

This page is a way to display a few memories from this years conference and mostly provide highlights from the Kurt Hahn Address.  Kurt Hahn Award is "presented annually at the conference to honor the exceptional people who make a substantial contribution to experiential education for a significant length of time."  Thanks to the AEE Staff, Board of Directors, and Host Committee for an amazing week!

I had the honor and pleasure of delivering the Kurt Hahn Address this year ~ And, what made it even more special was being introduced by my dear friend, Sky Gray (Executive Director, Santa Fe Mountain Center):

"A thread that ran through Nina's address, and through all of her work, are the issues of social justice and multiculturalism. I can't think of anyone I know who 'walks her talk' about these issues more passionately than Nina and she did so once again in her address. What is so wonderful about Nina is her ability to challenge people, and I mean really put you on the spot about whether you are addressing critical issues, and still do it with a smile on her face and real joy in her heart about working for change. Congratulations to Nina for being selected as this year's Kurt Hahn Address recipient and for all her great work."
~  Rick Curtis, Director of the Outdoor Action Program at Princeton University
 
I love it that my ol' pal, Cheryl Schwartz, popped in from Tucson for this talk and to see some of her buddies as well.  Thanks for the fun little poster, Schwartz!
