Hello everyone. My name is Max Wilbert, and I am the Western Washington student who will be working with Chris Linder on multimedia production this summer. I’m quite looking forward to the trip – the Arctic is the front lines of the climate catastrophe, and I want to learn as much as I can while I am there.

I just got back from an 8-day trip to remote corners of Utah, doing some rock climbing, hiking, and connecting with the natural world. It is somewhat traumatic to come back to the city after an experience like that, so I am still adjusting. Here is a photo from Capitol Reef National Park.

I look forward to meeting all of you in person.

Take care,
Max Wilbert
