· Levi Russell introduced Anna Cummins, the upcoming Outbound Youth Exchange student, from Inspire School of the Arts and Sciences. She is 17 and pursuing art. She moved here from the suburbs of Chicago so her dad could work at Chico State. She took a world history class her sophomore year in which her teacher, Mrs. Travers, talked about how world travel had really had an impact on her life.
