WSSU's biotechnology program helped me realize my fascination with scientific research and bio-veterinary science. I had the chance to study abroad as part of the Duke University Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) Biology Summer Program in Costa Rica. Studying abroad allowed me to learn by doing science in a beautiful and challenging tropical setting.
