- Leigh Kane will travel to Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park to enhance her teaching of the Form II "Our Changing Landscapes" curriculum.
- Bill Miller (whose proposal was approved in 2019 but whose trip was postponed due to COVID-19) will visit the convergent sites of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in Spain to study the eras in which these three religions have peacefully co-existed, thus serving as potential models of diversity, equity, and inclusion for the modern world.
