Student Introductions 8

Last up for our student introductions is tent conTent - Kooky Katie and Juvenile Guinea Fowl Janna!

Howdy! My name is Katie and I'm a 4th year Environmental Science major. I'm really excited to be in Botswana to gain practical field experience, learn more about African cultures, see some wild animals, and gaze at spectacular stars. One of the most interesting things we've done so far is learn the local language, Setswana, from our new friend, Tefo. Ke rate go leba bophirima jwa letsatsi in Botswana, which means I love to watch the sunsets in Botswana. I would like to thank my mom and dad for all their support in my travels home. Go siame!

Hola! My name is Janna. I'm a 4th year Environmental Science major and Philosophy Minor. Ke a itumela go bala le go tsamaya go Africa. I am primarily here because I am incredibly interested in the intersection of environmental and societal issues, which we will be thoroughly studying during our 6 weeks abroad. However, I wouldn't possibly be here without the passionate recommendations of my good friends Shelby, Jack, Alec, and Elizabeth (who have all previously taken part in this program), the generous contributions of my Uncle Mike and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Endowment for International and Multidisciplinary Studies, and the unending support of my parents le ke mosadi, Justina. A huge thanks to every single one of y'all! Ke a le boga!
