Jessie Bingaman of Arlington Heights, IL participated in a Summer J-Term trip to Nicaragua.

This course focused on how physical geographic factors and human intervention have affected the flora and fauna of the world's largest freshwater tropical island. The tour included a trip to the island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. Students were required to engage in significant research about the varied landscape and history of Nicaragua before leaving the campus. The course also contained a service learning component.
