When Gabriel Kou Solomon '06 came to America in the 1990s, his life was supposed to be free from the violence that plagued his family in his native Sudan. But the trials for this former Lost Boy were far from over. In October 2007, his nieces were kidnapped, and now he's returned to his homeland to try to aid the effort for their recovery.

Also in this issue, celebrity grads discuss their favorite Madison spots, a service helps you to test-drive your dream job, researchers dig in to fire-ravaged Yellowstone Park, and we bid farewell to Chancellor John Wiley MS'65, PhD'68.
