Being able to be experience not only Oteima University, but their values, was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The time, effort, and dedication that has been put into building a University like their’s is truly inspiring. They are never settling and always looking to further improve themselves. All though the time that I spent there was not near long enough for what I would have liked it to be, I truly did learn a lot of information that I know will only help me excel in my professional and personal life.

Oteima University is one that is striving to advance the use of conservational strategies. Professors at the university care a great deal for the environment and practice their conservational methods while sharing their knowledge of the land and the animals that inhabit it with the students. Having had the opportunity to observe Oteima’s plan for conservation, I am excited to share with members of my community what they’ve done and how we can do the same here in the Midwest.

Oteima University is an inspirational institution. Being able to hear first hand about what they are aiming to achieve for Panama’s natural resources has really sparked my interest to improve our conservational methods in the United States. After experiencing Oteima, my goal is to further implement conservation into my career and encourage others to do the same.

Oteima University is beyond what I imagined. What I experienced there is something I look forward to sharing with others. For them to have the same values that I have as a conservationist is amazing, they also taught me different values which I look forward to using on the farm at home.
