Welcome Jon Totten!

Take a minute and stop into Outdoor Pursuits to welcome Jon Totten back to NIC. Jon left the college to pursue his dream of being a sailboat skipper on the blue waters of the Caribbean.

Jon brings a strong background in outdoor programming to the Student Activities team. He has a Master of Science degree in Adult & Organizational Learning from the University of Idaho and his Bachelor of Science is in Resource Recreation and Tourism from the U of I.
Jon was also lucky enough to do some international study at Lincoln University. Christchurch, New Zealand.

Prior to his leaving NIC Jon worked as the Assistant Coordinator - Outdoor Pursuits where he oversaw the Outdoor Pursuits lakefront and rental programs and staff. He programmed and led outdoor adventures including: sailing, backpacking, mountaineering, mt. biking, whitewater rafting and kayaking, canoeing, surfing, snowshoeing, and backcountry and telemark skiing.

Ask Jon to tell you about his work at San Juan Sailing in Bellingham, WA or better yet, take some time and buy him a beer and he will tell you his stories about sailing for Barefoot Yacht Charters in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. His experiences aboard 35’ – 50’ sailing yachts throughout the Southern Caribbean will keep you entertained for hours, especially if you're buying the beer!
