MARSHFIELD — Zuami Villagran, a professor at the University of Guadalajara, couldn’t foresee wearing a cheese hat.

But along with that experience, Villagran went camping, rode horses and took in any little part of Wisconsin culture she could absorb during the past two months.
“I came to learn science, but learned a new lifestyle and culture,” she said.
Villagran and Leticia Orozco, another professor at the University of Guadalajara’s Centro Universitario de los Altos campus, spent seven weeks at the Marshfield Clinic, training in a microbiology program to improve their teachings and labs.
The exchange is part of the University of Wisconsin Center for Global Health in collaboration with the Clinic.
