ORIENTATION FIELD TRIPS 

Each year at IES, entering class members embark on three days of field trips.  The purpose of these trips is to give entering students a broad-based idea of what environmental professionals can do.  By spending time with environmental professionals in their workplaces, these trips allow students to form goals about what field of environmental science they would like to study.  Also, the trips allow members of the entering class to get to know each other and IES faculty members outside the classroom.  

Orientation field trip destinations vary each year, but previous trips have included stops at Mill Creek, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (Columbus), the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Columbus), the Aullwood Audubon Center (near Dayton).
