No llores por mi Oaxaca

July 29th It’s taken me forever to write this pre-departure post and my lateness is unacceptable, but unfortunately I have a job now.

Service Learning

June 7th My community organization assignment was to work with a Seguro Popular clinic in Pueblo Nuevo which was a town over. It takes about 45 minutes to get there on bus which is plenty of time to nap since we head over there pretty early. I have a partner that goes with me to […]

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.
