Learning In The Wild

Valerie Neuhausser ’22 Biology, Environmental Science, #SJCScholar: “The highlight of my college experience was participating in the Environmental Science Semester (ESS). What makes the ESS unique is that learning is done in the field which allows you to physically see and understand concepts and processes. I found that this immersive style of learning is far more effective than a traditional in-class science course and has improved my understanding of the natural world and my ability to think like a scientist.”
