Biologist Helps “Keep Pulse of International Education Going”

After completing his Fulbright in Honduras last spring, biology faculty member Josiah Townsend had to stay in the country because of travel restrictions during the pandemic. This semester, he’s been teaching his IUP courses from 3,300 miles away. Find out how Townsend is leveraging his logistical challenge to give students an international experience at a time when those opportunities are few.
