One of the best parts of ECES? The amazing field trips!🐒🌴

Check out the Language, Culture, and Social Cognition class’s most recent visit to Prague zoo to study primates in person!

According to one student, the best part of the class is “The outside of class “field-trips”. This is uncommon in a college setting, as you get older and I thoroughly enjoyed having this aspect be brought back into teaching & education.”

We couldn’t agree more!
