Yesterday NOLS Rocky Mountain was busy with some unusual business. In addition to the usual debriefing and de-issuing of semester courses that goes on around this time of year, the troops were rallied for a construction project. Staff from NOLS Rocky Mountain, and some folks who came down the street from Headquarters, were directed by Creative Energies staff (former NOLSies themselves) to complete the installation of solar panels for the branch!

Josh and Andy are pros by now.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help! For more photos from the project, click here.
