Lots of students talk a good game when it comes to caring for the environment, but not nearly as many put their words into action. This summer, there’s a pre-college program that will help students do just that.

Students passionate about the environment can pursue environmental studies while exploring the Domain of the University of the South. In plain English, explore the campus of Sewanee, which has 13,000 acres of forests, lakes, caves, and vistas in Tennessee. The Sewanee Environmental Institute offers the Pre-College Field Studies Experience (“SEI” for short) in one of two sessions: June 24 to July 3, 2022 or July 8 to July 17, 2022.

SEI is designed for students who are passionate about the outdoors, interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in the study of the environment, and rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with a history of academic excellence
