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

2016 Oct 3

Iris Woolery, majoring in animal ecology, was among the group of students that traveled abroad over the summer in the "Summer Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Experiences in Belize" 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 gained both a biological and cultural experience in Belize. They visited a tropical forest and explored marine ecosystem components while interacting with local guides.

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.
