Join a powerful faculty-led study abroad program in Senegal, where you’ll explore the connections between race, environment, and public health. Visit national museums to learn about Senegal’s rich history and culture, then dive into pressing environmental issues through site visits to heavily polluted areas like the Pink Lake and coastal fishing communities. Gain firsthand insight into how water pollution and deforestation affect local health and livelihoods while working alongside community organizations and local scholars. This immersive experience will expand your global perspective, sharpen your critical thinking, and prepare you to engage with real-world health and environmental challenges across cultures.
