The Animal Welfare Program has held a fall tradition with The Evergreen State College, a public liberal arts college in Olympia, Washington, where undergraduate students taking their Anthrozoology course head up north for a hands-on field trip to learn about animal welfare. With their first in-person visit since the pandemic, we welcomed more than 30 students to our lab and the dairy farm three weeks ago.
We had presentations and engaging discussions that led to many of the undergraduates feeling inspired to pursue further studies in animal welfare science and animal behaviour. See some highlights below!
