Our days spent at the zoo will be a perfect mix of hands-on work and discussions with zoo employees, veterinarians, and para-professionals. We will be doing a fair bit of zookeeping, short coursework (designed to augment our time with the animals), and will participate in a service project to the zoo. We will also travel to the Cornell University Veterinary Medical College, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (both in Ithaca, NY,) to better understand how complimentary organizations play vital roles the conservation and medical treatment of zoo residents. Come enjoy this superior educational experience in a fast paced, fun environment, close to amazing exotic animals, all while earning 3 credits!
