International Study Abroad night

Last night, the Honors students (93 of them!!! - pictured) and I welcomed a guest speaker from Austin, TX, Mr. Walt Lengel from International Studies Abroad (ISA).  He shared his expertise and several helpful resources with the

students, and then one of our outstanding honors students, Sean Kane, told the others about his study abroad experience in London this summer.  I would encourage all of our students to pursue a study abroad experience, whether through ISA or a similar agency, or through faculty-led trips like my Biology Field Trip Abroad course.  In the past few years, our field trips have taken us to places like Nicaragua, Australia, Fiji, and Peru; and we will be going abroad again in May of 2015.  It's a fantastic experience!
