Cool Lemur Video! Madagascar Experience

Hello! Salama! Bonjour!
From English to the two official languages, Malagasy and French, spoken in this amazing country!

Watch this cool video of our recent Study Abroad Alumna, Olivia, as she studied abroad over the summer in Madagascar, through the, Madagascar Past and Present: Biodiversity, Extinction and Conservation Program offered here at NIU!

She was able to work closely with lemurs, study fossils, and conduct independent research! The primary purpose of this program is to provide students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about primate biodiversity, extinction, forest fragmentation and conservation in Madagascar, one of the world’s foremost biodiversity hotspots.

Welcome back Huskies! We hope that your first few weeks of school are off to a great start, and that you enjoyed your three day weekend! Wouldn't it be nice if every weekend could be three days long?! 

The SAO is looking forward to the 2017-2018 academic year, and we are really excited about our new student bloggers. These students will be Official Student Representatives for our Huskies Abroad: Student Blog. Every semester there will be several students blogging about their study abroad experience. Their blogs are personal reflections of what it is like to study abroad where everything is new and exciting. As students who will be in another country for a whole semester, we know they will be able to provide so many great stories about their experiences!
