Class of 2017

Helena Eitel and Ryan Schiller have been living in Seattle for the past few years. Last year they backpacked across South America, Asia, and Africa. The backpacking trip was a long-awaited dream. The Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina had spectacular sights. Malaysian Borneo was an unexpected highlight. They went diving off Komodo island in Indonesia. Ryan also enjoyed pickled food in South Korea.

Ben Packer has been creating technology for the United Auto Workers Union. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and travels to Detroit occasionally.
