Bowling Green, Ky. - Later this week a group of Western Kentucky University faculty and students, including President Gary Ransdell and his wife, Julie, will travel to Kenya as part of an international research partnership with the University of Nairobi.

You'll be able to follow the group on Western's Kenyan Connection website as they share portions of their journals and their photographs on their three-week trip across the African nation.

For the past two weeks, WKU students and faculty have been in South Africa for a wildlife management class. Members of that group, who'll also be part of the Kenya trip, have sent journal entries from their experiences in South Africa.

The Kenyan Connection is available at http://www.wku.edu/kenya/.
