Nicaragua J-Term Information Session April 12

Two information sessions will be held on Tuesday, April 12 for the 2017 J-Term study tour “Biology and Geography of Nicaragua.” The sessions will be held at noon and at 4 p.m. in the Science Center’s Integrated Sciences Pavilion. Students only need to attend one of these sessions.

This course provides a unique opportunity for students to experience either clinical work or work on water projects. Both aspects provide students first-hand knowledge of the rural volcanic island of Ometepe, Nicaragua. Students also learn the fascinating history, culture, and environment of this country, and see how all of this has affected the land and people. The trip will offer students a new perspective on life.

Students will travel to Ometepe for two weeks in mid-January. The course is offered again in June. The cost for this trip is $2,500, all inclusive.
