SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas
State Global News Team, will travel to Guyana in Jan. 2018.
On the 2018 Global News
Team trip Holly Wise and five students will be traveling to South America. They will
be there for 11 days in January.
“We will be traveling with
the Texas State Department of Respiratory Care students and one faculty member
while they deliver respiratory therapy in clinics and in communities,” Wise
said.
Wise is the leader of
the Global News Team and a Lecturer at Texas State University in the College of
Journalism and Mass Communication. Wise has organized two successful study abroad
trips to Nicaragua in 2016 and 2017 and is done recruiting students for her
next trip. The opportunity is open to all students in the College of Journalism
and Mass Communication.
For the past two years, the
Global News Team has collaborated with the Texas State University School of
Nursing. While the nursing students help the patients in the community, the
Global News Team takes photos and videos and interviews the locals benefiting
from the service learning trip.
“The students of the Global
News Team imbedded with service learning trips from Texas State specifically to
tell the stories that are being served as well as the students and facility who
are volunteering,” Wise said.
The cost of the service
learning trip is $2,804, however, there are scholarship opportunities and
grants that Wise applies for to help cover the cost of the trip. The trips cost
covers airfare, two meals a day, all of your lodging, your health insurance and
application fees.
