My name is Claire Olsen and I am a senior at Rutland High School. I am taking part in my schools Global Studies program during the fall semester of 2014. As part of this program, I will be creating a capstone project that deals with a selected current global issue. This blog will be my personal way to keep readers up to date with the status of my capstone including research, ideas, progress, and my own personal reflections on the process. Enjoy!
