Most impactful field work, research experience, and partnerships I've made, Past Review
By Joscie (University of Vermont) - abroad from 08/21/2018 to 11/11/2018 with
Round River Conservation Studies - Mongolia Conservation Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The program was so thoughtful and the hands on experience, people, and location was unbeatable. If you are interested in conservation and care about ethical and responsible international work, this is one of the best programs. Also, the parks there are great to partner with and really made our work and classes successful and meaningful.
