➕ We were pleased to welcome a group of students from Appalachian State University in North Carolina to the campus on Friday 🇺🇸

The group, led by Dr Elizabeth Shay and consisting of thirteen undergraduate students and two staff members, are travelling around Scotland as part of a Study Abroad programme and were keen to learn more about the work of the Centre for Mountain Studies, UHI Perth, as well as the wider university.

They were treated to talks by Centre Director Dr Rosalind Bryce, Researcher Dr Mike Daniels, MRes students Daniel Martin and Jane Busienei, and Research Fellow Dr Bobby Macaulay, collectively outlining the range of work and activity ongoing at CMS. There was some very positive interaction between the students and speakers, and it is hoped that this visit will lead to stronger ongoing connections between UHI and ASU.
