John Kaethler - cooperation among student organizations and Brock's faculties, specifically through the DevEd network which he was instrumental in establishing.
Shantelle Marcoux - The Canadian student experience, from the limited world of home to the understanding gained from participation in the Vietnam seminar. - The effects of WUSC's efforts on the students it tries to educate.
Heather Phaneuf - The interaction of WUSC with the academic world. The connections that can be made between organizations at various levels. A focus on WUSC's cooperative dealings with other organizations, like CASID, and especially at the student level.
