Elise Kendall completes an internship in South Asia

2014 Dec 12

Elise Kendall gained practical experience while making a difference in South Asia through a summer internship. While there, Kendall worked with a local non-governmental organization on combating deforestation at the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal.

The internship was coordinated through the Global Resource Systems (GRS) program in Iowa State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. GRS international internships are designed as independent projects completed abroad that teach professional skills that can be applied in careers at home or around the world.

In addition to international internships, many students in Global Resource Systems and other majors in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences gain a global perspective through study abroad. This year, students in the college were able to choose courses on all seven continents.
