Student summer jaunts--Beijing, Managua

Two of our majors are off on epic travels this summer:


Elly Henriksen has taken a job in Beijing for the summer to work for Puget Sound alum Paul Strickland '98. Among other things, she'll be helping with his expanding hot dog franchise, of all things (see pic below), but Mr. Strickland is involved in a number of businesses in China, including investment banking.
