I have one closing comment that sums it all up…I WANT TO GO BACK TO BELIZE!

August 22, 2019 by Sofia Fernandes Leave a Comment

This trip was short and bittersweet and has left a permanent mark on me. I got to work with so many special people and they taught me more than I could have ever imagined. I made many new friends from different places in the US and world. Our field experiences taught me a lot about […]

Day 9(Monday): Horse physical exam+injections/dewormer

August 22, 2019 by Sofia Fernandes Leave a Comment

This was the most magical farm that I have ever been to. In fact, it may have been the most magical place I have ever been to, period. I loved being greeted by a giant group of waggly dogs and then getting to watch them get neutered. I wish I could have been one of […]

Day 7(Saturday): San Antonio Free Spay and Neuter Clinic

August 22, 2019 by Sofia Fernandes Leave a Comment

This day was so cool and SO MUCH FUN!!! When I started my first position at the reception area, I really enjoyed interacting with the people who were bringing in their pets. I thought that I was going to be sort of shy and nervous but I ended up being really friendly and relaxed…I even […]

What Is This? Who Are They?

This blog is home to the thoughts and images of Rutgers University students as they travel the world this summer. Each student received a scholarship to experience the sciences beyond their New Jersey borders. In addition to the research and/or coursework, they will keep a journal or blog. Their thoughts are recorded once or twice a week over the duration of their international experience.

For more information about this scholarship, please visit the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences International Programs page at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
