Field School Experiences

Bioarchaeology

Erin Evans

She taught me more than I ever imagined learning in a 4 week period. I feel very confident going on to similar university level classes.  Napa Valley Community College

I had a wonderful experience in Peru. I learned so much in the bioarcheaology program and am thankful for the professors and teachers assistants that were there to help us. This program will be very beneficial to me in my classes in college so I cannot wait to apply my knowledge. The majority of the students were genuine people who loved what they were doing. I am thankful for meeting these students because I truly feel like I made some lifelong friends.  - University of Illinois Champaign – Urbana

Elsa was an amazing teacher who really took the time to make sure we learned as much as possible. She taught me more in four weeks than I ever felt possible. Elsa was very fair and made sure everyone had equal opportunities. University of Illinois Champaign – Urbana

Marie del Carmen Vega and Mellisa Lund were amazing to work with in the field. Everyone had a great time with them and they helped everyone on and individual basis. Elsa was also an amazing instructor.

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.

The instructors of the bioarchaeology program were amazing. They spent many hours doing one on one work to make sure that we understood the material inside and out. A great program all around.
