Lafrenz takes summer short-travel course abroad through Iowa State University

2016 Oct 3

Logan Lafrenz, majoring in Animal Science, was among the group of students that traveled abroad over the summer in the "Beef and Horse Production in Brazil" program. This is just one of the many programs offered through the Ag Study Abroad Office that allow students to take their learning outside the classroom and explore the world.

Each program is unique in topic and location. In this program students examined the structure of the bovine and equine industries in Brazil with attention to the distinctive differences in environmental management and resource usage, markets and management style in the raising of horses and beef cattle in Brazil.

The Ag Study Abroad Office works with faculty members in departments to offer a variety of trips that help students gain a new perspective at locations all around the world. Through trips offered over breaks in the academic year, during the summer and semester-long exchanges or internships, students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences have been on all seven continents studying agriculture and life sciences.
