About the cover
Study-Service Term (SST) is all about new relationships, cultures and ways of knowing ourselves. Similarly, stamps help carry messages of life, love and learnings thousands of miles to keep people connected. Their rich colors, beautiful landscapes, notable people and striking designs share mini-stories of art, culture and history of the countries they belong to. These stamps also highlight the ways things have changed in our digital world, since today’s participants on SST rarely write or receive letters from home. Thanks to local alumni stamp collectors Doug Risser ’70 and Larry Gautsche ’74 who shared old and newer stamps from all 24 SST destinations over the years, taking us on this global tour!
