Learned so much more than expected
May 25, 2024by: Ava GilbertProgram: Costa Rica Sea Turtle Conservation and ResearchI came to the trip hoping to learn more about conservation and veterinary medicine. I accomplished not only this goal, but expanded my perspective on how culture, language, and so much more are connected to veterinary medicine. I also met some truly amazing fellow students!
Couldn't ask for a better first trip abroad
May 25, 2024by: Dayana NavarroProgram: Costa Rica Sea Turtle Conservation and ResearchI couldn't have asked for a better first trip abroad! Seeing so many gorgeous wild animals up close has given me a new perspective. I can't wait to work as a vet or in conservation and do stuff like this every day!
Such a special project
May 25, 2024by: Victoria PrinceProgram: Costa Rica Sea Turtle Conservation and ResearchThe Costa Rica sea turtles program was super fun and special to be part of. It was cool to do conservation & vet work, especially with the sterilization campaign. It was still school and learning but also relaxing and fun too!
