✈STUDENT SPOTLIGHT✈

Teresa Gutierrez, an ACES alumna, participated in a short-term study abroad program through NRES 385/ANSC 398 - Wildlife Conservation & Habitat Management in South Africa!

Teresa’s Testimonial:
“The experiences I had not only enhanced my understanding of conservation practices and wildlife biology, but also significantly influenced my future career aspirations. Having the opportunity to collaborate with conservationists who are super passionate about this line of work, and observe the effects of this kind of work up close and firsthand has definitely strengthened my commitment to finding sustainable solutions when it comes to conservation policy work. I will be forever grateful to my instructors and classmates for this amazing experience, and will cherish all of the ways I’ve grown in such a short period of time.”

✈STUDENT SPOTLIGHT✈
Katherine Wondrasek, first-year student majoring in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, participated in a first year study abroad experience over winter break through ACES 298 - Service-Learning and Sustainability in Ecuador!

Katherine's Testimonial:
"My time in Ecuador is one that I will never forget. When I first heard about the program, I was intrigued by the sustainability aspect of it and by the idea of immersing myself in a new culture. I had never been outside of the United States before this trip, but I never imagined that I would be coming home having made an entirely new family, both out of the people in
Ecuador as well as my classmates."

“I feel incredibly privileged to have had this opportunity, and I know it will stay with me for a long time. My time in Ireland shaped me academically, personally, and socially. It left me with a deep love for the country, and now I’m determined to apply for a visa to return and work there after graduation.
