For the second time, this three-week study abroad opportunity in Nepal is available again for students to experience. Led by Dee Denver, head of the Department of Integrative Biology, the Intersections of Biodiversity and Buddhist Cultures in Nepal course promises a trek through the Himalayas, excursions in lowland jungles and time spent in centuries-old monasteries. The course’s unique interweaving of culture and biology makes it a special study abroad offering.
"Our inspiration for the Nepal program was to provide a new opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to encounter and experience new ways of thinking about biodiversity, and to find sparks of inspiration and build confidence that will help them find success in their paths ahead,” said Denver.
