Student travel is an important component of many impactful student learning experiences and it is important to continue to develop opportunities for educational travel.
“We want our students to realize that, despite problems and conditions surrounding specific research, questions might be different in different regions of the world. We want them to see acquiring these skills is very valuable for their education and very attractive for their resumes.”
Juan Carlos MelgarAssociate Professor of Pomology
