POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In LMU Student Affairs, professional staff are given the opportunity to apply Professional Development funds towards gaining certifications and/or attending conferences to further drive and support their development

This past week, Assistant Director and alumnus, Ryan Yamashita ‘13 got to attend the NOLS Wilderness Risk Management Conference (@wildernessrisk) up in Portland, OR ✈️🌲

This conference was developed back in 1989 after a tragic fatality urged the industry to create a forum for people, programs, and organizations to come together, share resources, and continue to develop preventative safety measures and emergency response protocols in the outdoors

During the conference, Ryan got to attend sessions on:
- Heat and Wildfire Smoke Operating Thresholds 📊
- Legal Concerns 📑
- ADA and Reasonable Accommodations 📋
- Climate Risk Decision Making 🌡️🔥❄️
- Mental Health Support 😌
- Neurodiversity Support 🧠
- Crisis Case Studies 🗂️
- and more!

He’s excited to bring this all back to the campus, and can’t wait to leverage it to keep developing the program and student team!

Thank you @nolsedu 🧡🍁🍂

I'll turn 60 in two weeks. 🎉 And this year alone I've admired icebergs in Greenland; gone snowshoeing in Norway; twirled on Bahamian sands; run on an airstrip in Kenya; hiked a caldera in Japan; steeped in a wine-infused "barrel bath" in Spain; and chased waterfalls in Guyana.
✈️
So it won't surprise you that I think travel in mid-life can be as active and adventurous as you want it to be! I'm eager to share my thoughts on how our relationship with travel, adventure, and ourselves evolves over time at the Black Travel Summit in Milwaukee, next Saturday, October 17, when I'll join fellow adventurers Sandy Curtis, @bicycle_nomad and @travelingblackwidow on a panel led by @roadscholar's Kelsey Knoedler Perri. "Seasoned, Seen, And Still Exploring: Traveling As We Age" will celebrate the idea that getting older doesn’t mean the end of adventure. In fact, it can liberate us to finally choose our own! For tickets and more information, visit BlackTravelSummit.com. See you soon!

What does traveling by bike teach you? For @bicycle_nomad it's not a one-off lesson, it's the same one on repeat. Every hard moment in the saddle builds the confidence to face the next one, on the bike and off it. ⁠

SOME PEOPLE EXPLORE HISTORY. ERICK RIDES THROUGH IT.

If you've been rocking with Black Travel Summit, then Erick Cedeño needs no introduction.

You watched him become one of the FIRST winners of the @blacktravelfilmfestival . You've seen him grace our stage as a Keynote Speaker. And through the years, we've watched him continue to explore, document, preserve, and amplify the stories of Black heroes across this country.

Known as @bicycle_nomad , Erick is an adventurer, storyteller, historical explorer-and most importantly, a legacy preserver AND builder.

He has traveled through 49 U.S. states by bicycle, using adventure as a vehicle to uncover stories often missing from the traditional American narrative.

He retraced the Underground Railroad.

He took on the historic 1,900-mile journey of the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps, following the path of the all-Black regiment of Buffalo Soldiers who rode from Fort Missoula, Montana, to St. Louis in 1897.

And as a graduate of Bethune-Cookman University, where he studied Travel and Tourism, Erick has built a life around the intersection of adventure, Black history, culture, storytelling, and the outdoors.

Now, he returns to the BTS stage for a conversation we know our community NEEDS:

SEASONED, SEEN, AND STILL EXPLORING: TRAVELING AS WE AGE.

Our stories don’t become less important with time. Our curiosity doesn’t ever have to shrink. There are still places to explore, histories to uncover, firsts to experience, and LEGACIES TO BUILD.

And Erick is living proof.

Family, welcome Erick Cedeño, the Bicycle Nomad, back to the Black Travel Summit stage!

"History becomes my carrot when I travel by bike."⁠
⁠
For Erick Cedeño, the miles ridden are only half the story. Retracing the Underground Railroad, the next stop — Cincinnati's Freedom Center, Ashtabula, Niagara Falls — is what pulls him through the hardest days in the saddle. ⁠

Looking back at the video the sky looks like a scene out of Ghostbusters. Haters will say it’s photoshopped. It’s really a testament to how magical last nights @slowrolldetroitthursdaynights was. We had a very special guest Co Lead, THE Godmother of House and yes MY cousin @hotwaxxhale and when I say cousin I mean actual cousin. People last night kept asking me and yes and I couldn’t be more proud of her and the mark she’s made in the world. Thank you Stacey for blessing us with your amazing energy last night and the light you shine upon us. Needless to say I don’t think this will be her last Slow Roll Detroit and she loved riding my @ternbicycles HSD. Give it up for @hotwaxxhale ! I don’t know how I’m going to top our next Celebrity guest Co Lead after this.

100 km for 100 years.

Route 66 turns 100 this year, so we’re riding 100 km of it. There’s a stretch outside Kingman where the road disappears into desert on both sides — nothing but pavement, sky, and the hum of your own wheels. This is what we’re riding for.

October 17, join us for Cycle Arizona 66 — a fully supported metric century from Lewis Kingman Park to Valentine, on the same highway that’s carried a century of travelers chasing the open road. Every ability level welcome. 250 riders max.

Register at activeaz.org/cycleaz66.

Why did the feet cross the road? 👣😂
To get to the other STRIDE! 🏃‍♂️💨
.
When the joke is corny but the lesson is LEGIT. 😎
Because training kids should be FUN, playful, and full of laughs while they learn! 🤸‍♂️⚽️🔥

Big brother sets the pace… little brother is already warming up! 😎⚽️🔥
.
👀⚽️ Learning starts by being part of the action!
.
Big brother is putting in the work, and little brother is already following along! 🙌 Watching, playing with the balls, and taking in the environment — sometimes the best lessons happen just by being there.
