Graduate students in the School of Natural Resources and Extension will share their

Julie Cislo, SNRE's Coverdell Fellow this year, served in Panama, teaching English
to elementary school children. Samantha Straus, a Master's International Program student,
recently returned from The Gambia, where she worked with community members on agro-forestry
projects. Willie Wilkins' service was in Malawi, helping with gardening, agro-forestry, medicinal gardening and HIV/AIDS education.
Each student will give a lecture, followed by questions from the audience.
