Summer takes many CALS students out of the classroom and into the world, where a different kind of learning awaits. This summer, internships gave students a ticket to travel from Ithaca to villages in India, a wildlife veterinary clinic in Africa, the shores of Onondaga Lake, and a New York City fashion house. Learn more about their stories and the kind of education that occurs when students hit the road in this special online only issue of PeriodiCALS.
