Global Health Study Abroad In Galapagos
Baylor’s Department of Anthropology is inviting applicants to the global health study abroad experience in the Galapagos islands (Summer Session II, 2023). In this program, a small group of students will travel with a research team to Ecuador and stay at three of the Galapagos Islands, as well as Quito, Ecuador’s capital city. They will have amazing experiences like snorkeling with sea turtles, hiking volcanoes, and traveling to the equator. However, this program will also serve as a major resume-building activity for students as they work alongside experts in global health conducting field research. It will be a great opportunity to develop professional relationships needed for letters of recommendation! More information can be found by following this link
