On each trip, one or more professors accompany the group. In Oaxaca, NIU anthropology professor, Winifred Creamer, and her husband, the McArthur Curator of North American Anthropology at the Field Museum in Chicago, Jonathan Haas, both shared their knowledge about the Zapotec and Mixtec Indian cultures with the group. The director of NIU's Liberal Arts and Sciences External Programming, Steven Johnson, also joins each group, making hotel accommodations, travel arrangements, and generally ensuring that all runs smoothly. Winifred's parents, from New York, joined the trip. NIU Study tours usually have room for about 20 members.
Space is limited in each program, so early registration is advised.
