We say goodbye to Jude Bell and welcome Dean Churchwell, both serving as Secretary.

Dean is a longtime GICS student, and says:

I was born & raised in Northern California, and have been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1995. With my wife Kathyi and our two sons, we share a love of different cultures and traveling.  
I have always had a fascination of the German culture & languages. In mid-2014, while attending university classes in the evening, I became a student at the Gerlind Institute seeking to learn understand this beautiful language.
Along with traveling and learning German. I love sailing on the San Francisco Bay.
