The Turkana Basin Institute Fall 2014 Field School ended last Sunday.

As part of this we held a graduation ceremony where students were presented by Dr Leakey to travelled to TBI to congratulate the students.

The students were happy to have completed the Field School but also sad to be leaving Turkana after being there for the semester. Tom, the TBI mascot and friend to all was a bit sad to see the students getting ready to leave (but she is looking forward to a new group of students next year!)
