Over 100 students and faculty from the University of Iowa take off for a three-week adventure in India. Teams will be located throughout the country to learn about healthcare, social work, entrepreneurship, water and sustainability. We leave the United States with open hearts and minds to learn about people, their culture, and to offer help where needed.
As a first-time traveler to India, I have to admit I am a little anxious as I stretch my comfort zone. There are many experienced faculty traveling with us who have traveled with student to India many times. We will rely on their experience and guidance as we explore this new world of color and spices.
Our team is working with Aravind Eye Clinics as we look and learn about their healthcare system, telemedicine, and entrepreneurial ways to eliminate unnecessary blindness.
I am excited to begin the journey of learning in India. We will have our students contribute to the blog so you can join us on this journey from everyone's perspective. Please share the website to your friends and family to learn about the exciting things happening with Iowa students.
Best,
Bob Walker
