Working together to help preserve the environment- Sarah Weber

My experience with the DANTA Wildlife Conservation and Sustainability course showed me that there is much more to learn about conservation and ecology beyond the classroom. As a senior biology major, I have spent a fair amount of my college career learning about the importance of the rainforest in the health of the earth’s ecosystems and the tremendous biodiversity that

In the Spotlight: Global Health Corps Malawi

At the end of my Master of Public Health program, I was determined to work abroad to apply the skill and knowledge I had gained through my maternal and child health focus and my global health certificate.
