From martyrology to herpetology: A CMU alum's global journey of curiosity, community, and conservation

The 23-year-old from Altona, MB travelled an ocean away from CMU, and yet it was present in almost every adventure of their two-week trip, a microcosm of their university experience: curiosity and community.
