Why did you choose Delaware? When I visited, everyone was friendly and helpful, and I got a really great feeling about the school as a whole. Delaware has all the opportunities of a large university, but I can still find an intimate and personal setting in the CANR. It's the perfect blend.I can be a number and a name.

What do you like about your experience so far? My experiences here have been amazing. For the past two summers, I have worked as a Wildlife Technician with Endangered shorebirds at a beach in my hometown. I also spent this past Winter Session in Ecuador and the Galapagos where I took a plant science class and a tropical ecology class. During Spring Semester, I remained in Ecuador for a pilot tropical ecology internship in the Ecuadorian Amazon basin at Yasuni National Park.
