A group of nine students from UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz, along with two faculty members, have joined RTC from August 7th to September 5th for a short-term, faculty-led intensive credited program. Their visit centres on the course "GIS in the Land of the Thunder Dragon," featuring engaging sessions led by esteemed speakers from Bhutan. In addition to their academic work, the group embarked on enriching excursions to Phobjikha, Punakha, and Paro, where they visited significant cultural landmarks. This program has been a resounding success, blending education, cultural immersion, and diversity for an unforgettable experience!
