Eight students and four faculty members represented Paul Engler’s College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences in Australia while on a 14-day Study Abroad trip.
Dr. Bridget Guerrero, Associate Professor of Agricultural Business and Economics, shared highlights from the trip. These highlights included attending a Merino Stud farm, getting to shear sheep, seeing the wool process from start to finish, and gaining knowledge of the family business atmosphere. In addition, the group learned about regenerative agriculture, feedyards, and even the history of sheep farming.
“If I had to describe the trip in one word it would be ‘awesome.’ Study abroad trips like this aren’t just about what you learn, but also about the connections and people you get to meet along the way” Guerrero said.
