You can’t put a price on an experience said Kellie Rucker, a University of Illinois student in animal sciences.
“My study abroad experience was invaluable because I am pursuing a career that builds off experiences,” Rucker said. “If the U of I didn't offer these opportunities, my future could have been completely different.”
Through the U of I, Rucker traveled to Thailand to care for about 80 rescued elephants. Some were blind, and some had incorrectly healed wounds or infections from poachers sawing off their tusks.
