Jesse Lang completes an internship in Central Asia

2014 Dec 12

Jesse Lang gained practical experience while making a difference in Central Asia through a summer internship. While there, Lang conducted agricultural training seminars for rural farmers in Kyrgyzstan.

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.
