DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 12\, 2018\n12:15 pm to 1:15 pm\nCampus: \nDayt
 on\nAudience: Undergraduate and Graduate Students\, Faculty\, Staff\nFor t
 he second year in a row\, a group of 12 WSU students and 2 faculty members
 \, traveled to Poland for 3 weeks in August to observe and work with anima
 ls in 2 remote field stations and a zoo.  Field stations experiments were 
 performed on birds and included: estimating uplift power\, cognitive abili
 ties\, mimicking behavior\, migratory behavior\, as well as intra and inte
 r-species interactions.  During their travels\, American students collabor
 ated with Polish students and faculty while conducting behavioral observat
 ions under the supervision of English-speaking Polish faculty and zoo pers
 onnel.  While participating in this international cooperation\, students w
 ere learning a new language and culture\, enhancing critical thinking and 
 problem solving skills\, and deepening their knowledge and respect for sci
 ence.\nBetween assignments at the field stations\, students stayed in the 
 historic city of Gdansk\, toured the medieval Malbork Castle – considered 
 the largest gothic castle in the world\, walked and shopped in the Old Tow
 n of Gdansk\, strolled along the beach on the Baltic Sea\, and visited nei
 ghboring cities and other important sites.  They also enjoyed traditional 
 Polish cuisine and the Polish nightlife.\nThis unique program is a compone
 nt of the Biology/Psychology Animal Behavior course (BIO 4010/PSY 4941/694
 1).  Developed with the aim of creating a significant educational and life
  changing experience\, Dr. Kraszpulski designed this study-abroad experien
 ce to help his students be better prepared for careers in the global villa
 ge.  Distinctive among ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´â€™s Ambassador Programs\, this study abr
 oad experience in Poland is just a component of a regular semester course.
   While abroad\, students were given the time and opportunity to concentra
 te on data collection and use their free time for rest and recreation.  Th
 e result was a better immersion experience that allowed students more time
  to enjoy Polish culture and customs.  By linking the study abroad program
  with a regular semester course\, students were afforded a more dynamic ed
 ucational experience which deepened their understanding of field research 
 and science\, varied their educational outcomes to include both cultural c
 ompetence and professional mentoring\, and expanded what they learned abou
 t the course topic.  Having additional time for lectures and other educati
 onal activities during the regular semester results in students getting th
 eoretical knowledge of the Animal Behavior field\, having a hands on exper
 ience in data collection and analysis\, as well as preparing a publication
  style manuscript.
