School Notes:

  • Located in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes region, on beautiful Seneca Lake, the Environmental Studies Summer Youth Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges provides exceptional opportunities to explore the scientific, social, and humanistic perspectives of environmental issues.
  • The Institute offers a two-week, college-level interdisciplinary program for talented high-school students entering their junior and senior years. The program is designed as an introduction to a variety of environmental issues and perspectives on nature and our environment.
  • Working in the field, in laboratories, in classrooms, and on a four-day camping trip, you will explore a range of topics in environmental policy, economics, and ethics, and come to see the natural world through the eyes of artists, historians, philosophers, and scientists.
  • Full-time members of the Hobart and William Smith Colleges faculty will serve as the instructional staff for the Institute. Professors in environmental science, ethics, and public policy will provide a foundation for the exploration of issues and guide students through the interdisciplinary program. At least fifteen professors will contribute lectures and fieldwork to provide an exciting and well-rounded experience.
