Helping Others with a Food Pantry for Pets

It’s an organization created by two women who love animals. They knew food pantries for people existed when someone finds themselves in financial difficulties but what about their animals? They created the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry to fill the void.

Food pick up day is always filled with so much joy and so many amazing stories of how one idea has impacted so many!

Explore! Life as a Dog

For this episode of Explore! we focus on the lives of our canine friends and ask the big picture question, “How can we better understand our own senses by comparing them to how a dog experiences the world?&#8221; Students meet and interact with Radar, a four-year-old terrier mix and with Dr. Ed Migneco, veterinarian at Hillside Animal Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. They’ll discover fascinating facts about a dog’s five senses, and explore what it’s like to hear, see, smell, touch and taste the world from a dog’s point of view. We investigate x-ray machines and learn how they help a veterinarian diagnose a dog’s medical condition. And through it all, we compare what we learn about dogs to a human’s five senses and how we experience the world.

Zugunruhe Experience: Leave the Nest, Spread Your Wings, Soar the World
The word Zugunruhe is a term derived from the German language that is best used to describe anxious behavior found within migratory birds seeking to take flight. Many of us have felt this same feeling at some point in our lives when things feel stagnant and a change needs to happen. At Zugunruhe Experience, we are the change that students have been seeking.
Zugunruhe Experience does not just offer student travel programs for some students, we offer student travel programs for every student.
