Finally, the course allowed me the chance to engage with my classmates in a new setting- online, which I believe will prove invaluable in my transition to college in the next few years."

Why did you decide to take the One Health Summer Online course?
"I decided to take the class as a part of my high school’s (Olathe North High School) animal health program. I have always been interested in zoonotic diseases and illnesses of the sorts as well so it fit very well."

What did you think about the content?
"The content was very informational, and it's amazing how much influence the vet and human medical fields have on each other despite being separate fields. The history and current events regarding zoonotic diseases were also very amazing to read and learn about."

How do you think this experience and what you learned will benefit you as you continue throughout school?
"Knowing more about animals in any way will help me on my path of becoming a wildlife biologist, especially because the course focuses on human influence on wilderness and vice versa. The class was great, well organized and informative and I very strongly recommend it to anyone interested in animal health!"

How do you think this experience and what you learned will benefit you as you continue throughout school?
"This experience will make me more aware of the involvement animals and humans have with each other. I will have more background knowledge and it will assist me in my science courses that I will be taking during my senior year."

What did you think about the content?
"Overall, I thought most of the content was stimulating and interesting. However, parts of the content seemed a little like 'busy work' to me. For example, copy and pasting our directions from our house to the business. I really appreciated how the class did not ask for a lot of my time, and each week was somewhat easy, so I got more enjoyment than I did stress."
