heading to Columbia...


The University, that is, not the country.  Kyle applied for, and got into, a 6 month program at Columbia University.  It is a certification program that will teach him something--I am a little fuzzy on the details, so ask him!  I know it's related to the Health Care field and also related to technology, that sounds good right?

He's very excited to be a part of this program at a fabulous school.

What does this mean for him you ask? 
Well, he will travel from SLC to NYC 7 times in the next 6 months for the weekend to study and learn.  Class time will be all day Saturday, with more independent study from home during the weeks he is away. 

He already has plans to meet up with an old mission companion his first weekend there (in Jan. in his spare time--dinner maybe?) and is gearing up to buy books, and figure out his way around a new college campus!  (although it is one we have walked dozens of times and Adam Wilcox will be there to show him the way too.)

Congratulations Kyle...good luck to you in this exciting new opportunity and adventure in your life.

May the force be with you,

Love-
The Fam.
