Since 2011, Sargent students have traveled more than 2 million miles each summer to engage with communities in several developing countries. This summer, Sargent returned to a full slate of International Service Learning experiences in Tanzania (pictured), South Africa, and Guatemala. Working with underserved communities in both urban and rural contexts, undergraduate and graduate students partnered with community health workers in learning about the delivery of basic healthcare services, supplementing their classroom learning. Jacqueline Lauer, a clinical assistant professor of health sciences, led the experiences in South Africa and Tanzania, in collaboration with EDU Africa, and Sargent partnered with socially conscious travel company Operation Groundswell to serve in Guatemala.
