My projects with Dr. Karcher focus on implementing intercultural learning into undergraduate study abroad programs, and classroom curriculum. By helping students think more globally minded we are hopeful that it will increase their level of essential job skills that employers in the agriculture industry are looking for in recent graduates. One way we do this is by implementing intercultural learning activities into study abroad curriculum to help students get the most out of their time abroad. We also give these activities in an international focused follow up course after the students’ time abroad. The other way we do this is by implementing those intercultural activities into an intro-level animal science course so that even students who do not go abroad still get exposure to intercultural learning and the chance to grow their essential job skills.
