When picturing where she might be after graduation in Spring 26, Ella Clark, @ella_kimberly7, envisioned working in a public relations firm in a big city to promote the next popular thing. After spending three weeks studying in Prague, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2025, she realized she hadn’t seen enough of the world to know there might be other visions to choose from. “I grew up in Moscow and hadn’t really left the country before,” said Clark, double-majoring in English and public relations. “In Prague, we had the chance to visit Radio Free Europe, meet their journalists and hear some of their stories. And I had this moment that was kind of profound. I saw how important their work was to them and the difference they were making. That inspired me.” Clark and 17 U of I classmates took two journalism and mass media classes taught by @uidahoclass Professor Caitlin Cieslik-Miskimen and adjunct instructor Tara Roberts in Prague through U of I’s Education Abroad program or @VandalsAbroad. She credits traveling abroad through U of I with helping her realize what’s truly important to her. “You realize there are so many other people, so many other cultures and so many other ways of living,” she said. “You realize that your way is not the only way. I think this experience made me a more intentional, more confident person.”

Alexis Biasotti does research in the Milk for Infant, Mind and Immunity (MIMI) Laboratory at the University of Idaho campus in Moscow, ID on March 26, 2025. She is an undergraduate pre-vet student, majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science, and has been in the Chen Lab since her freshman year because she was immediately drawn to the Piglet Intervention Center (PInC). Alexis has contributed significantly ranging from animal husbandry, lab maintenance, to growing cell culture for experiments. She completed one project comparing systemic inflammatory response between piglets fed human milk vs. infant formula. Alexis is now working on optimizing growing conditions for human enteroids.
