    Mount Allison students are back from the 2024 Utrecht Field School in Psychology!

Led by Dr. Lisa Dawn Hamilton, the two-week course on cross-cultural sexuality explored how perspectives on sexuality and sex education differ across cultures. Students also had the opportunity to learn from experts at Rutgers International, a sex education organization that conducts research and delivers sex and relationships programming in The Netherlands and abroad.
