#PIONEROSENELMUNDO “Having the opportunity to experience traveling to Puerto Rico for the AgriCULTURE program, with a puertorican professor allowed me to learn a lot from their culture. Not only did I learn about Puerto Rico’s culture, but I got to experience first-hand many job opportunities I can apply to after graduating college. Learning through experience is crucial to me and fortunately, having the opportunity to travel to Puerto Rico allowed me to enrich my mind with a different culture and set new career goals”. Briceida Valencia “Overall, the tour around the APHIS workplace was a great and insightful experience where we had the opportunity to learn firsthand the importance of the APHIS department. Every worker in the facility played a different role, whether they were out on the field or inside a lab, they are all vital in protecting the U.S from pests. Without APHIS, the agriculture industry would always be at risk of potential pests being imported throughout the U.S that could have a devastating effect on our resources”. Nelly Nunez “Of all the incredible experiences and beautiful locations I had seen during my visit to Puerto Rico, I sincerely did not expect to be as inspired as I was by the operation of Acevedo farm. I was thoroughly impressed by the many considerations for plant, soil, and environmental science the owners and personnel of the farm had made to efficiently produce crops on a massive scale. From such considerations, I found that the farm employed interesting strategies to face the challenges to production; some of which are unique to the farm’s geography, which starkly contrast with my home in South Texas.” Gene Espinoza “By being bilingual, you open doors to job opportunities in places you could have never imagined yourself living in. Not only does being bilingual help in the academic and career aspect of your life, but it will always allow you to connect and experience the culture of the place you are visiting or moving to”. Jack Hanna “The cooking class had been one of our scheduled events that I was looking forward to the most. I’ve grown up in the kitchen and love to cook and explore cultures through food. This class definitely did not disappoint me! And though not everyone in the group had experience in the kitchen, we were all able to take on a task and work together to bring our meal to the table. Chef put so much thought into the preparation and planning of our menu, and it was so interesting to learn a new way of cooking, and truly get a taste of Puerto Rican culture!” Madison Kromer La delegación de #SOMOSTAMUK ha visitado Puerto Rico y La Católica anualmente desde el 2017, con la participación de estudiantes y profesores de ciencias naturales, ciencias agrícolas y trabajo social. ...viene de la página anterior 15 HUELLAS DEL FUTURO INFORMA
