A Summer at Au Sable

Through ĢƵ’s partnership with Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies, students gain hands-on learning experience in the field of environmental biology. Located across five different campuses (Michigan, Washington State, India, Costa Rica, and Ecuador), Au Sable is a faith-based summer program that provides university-level classes in environmental studies and environmental science. ĢƵ and Au Sable’s partnership provides an opportunity for students to take the knowledge they have learned in the classroom and apply it in hands-on field opportunities.
Connecting the Classroom to the Career
Some ĢƵ students had the privilege of traveling to Washington State this summer to engage in the Au Sable program. Here is what they had to say about their experience:
Au Sable is just one piece of what makes the environmental biology concentration at ĢƵ so amazing. Come see for yourself the exciting things the ĢƵ Department of Biology is doing!
