For the first time, Auburn students had the opportunity to study in Peru. “The way we set up the syllabus and the assignments is we tailored it to each student’s major,” Student Advisor Katie Cooper said. “We wanted them to really think about how they could apply it to their future career and their current major and find things in the country that spoke to them. I think they all came away with something very meaningful.” Learn more about this intercultural experience.

Hannah E. Correia is the recipient of the Katherine S. McCarter Graduate Student Policy Award, the first student at Auburn University to be recognized with this honor. She will travel to Washington, D.C. to meet with members of Congress and discuss federal funding for biological and ecological sciences. 

“In order for these benefits to persist and grow for the next generation of students and researchers, it is necessary for me to learn to promote science policy and funding to support these types of programs and research in ecological sciences,” said Hannah.
