Bernadette Johnson – Eastern Kentucky University

«The field school program was amazing! Getting to work out in the field and gain experience in an interactive way was a great way to learn. Getting to meet so many students with similar interests but such varying backgrounds was wonderful and everyone was a lot of fun. As for the academic, it was great. The classwork never really seemed like classwork and I really enjoyed learning from such experienced professors»
