Unforgettable Experience
...I cannot tell you enough what an amazing program the DIG Field School... Taking part in actual‚ real life field research and then working through the scientific process in our group project was a learning experience like no other... I am so excited to take what I have learned from you all and share it with my students.

Inclusive Environment
Absolutely amazing! ...It's astounding how much we learned in a few days and we're able to apply it by the end of the week. Aside from the fantastic structure and engaging activities I was very happy with how much emphasis was put on our health, safety, and being inclusive.
