Biology major and animal science minor Abby Wiseman (22C) experienced hands-on learning in wildlife management in her research trip to Dewees Island, South Carolina last summer. The trip was led by Chris Mowry, Professor of Biology, and involved studying wild coyotes through trail cameras and scientific data. “The experience that our students have gained through hands-on internships has been extremely valuable for their careers,” says Mowry. “For example, Jared Crain was the first intern we sent to Dewees Island, and he is now in graduate school at the University of Tennessee. Likewise, Lauren Patterson and Mattie Whitesell did similar summer internships at St. Catherines Island, Georgia, and both went on to graduate school and careers in marine conservation.” Read more of Abby's story: https://bit.ly/3oheEUA #BerryStories
