Making your way to the edge of town leads to vistas of gently rolling hills blanketed in corn, interrupted only by power lines. Sometimes it is hard to imagine the world that lies beyond our little corner of Central Iowa. 

In the first episode of this new series, Nicholas explores travel opportunities sponsored by the CLS in the form of "externships" and "treks." You'll hear from the experts at the CLS who run these programs in addition to student reflections on their experiences engaging in these exciting adventures.
