Katie, second-year Knowledge Integration student, attended the Redfish School of Change intensive field school in coastal communities in British Columbia and Washington State to gain skills in raising environmental awareness.

Katie shares, "I had the unique opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, learn within the environment I was studying, collaborate with a diverse range of people and learn something about myself. Hearing the need for people to bridge between groups really solidified the importance of the collaboration and communication skills I am learning in Knowledge Integration."

Lindsay, second-year Knowledge Integration student, participated in an archeology field school in Jordan through ANTH 371: Anthropological Field Experience.

Lindsay shares, "I gained a much deeper appreciation for the work that archaeologists and anthropologists do. I am completing a minor in Anthropology, so this field course counted towards my minor. One of my favorite parts was working at the cemetery site and being able to identify the bones I was excavating, since I had learned all of them in ANTH 355 (Human Osteology)."
