APPLY HERE!

What is the Field Studies Experience?

Sewanee's Pre-College Field Studies Experience is a summer residential program for talented students who are passionate about the outdoors and interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in the study of the environment.

Led by full-time faculty at the University of the South and utilizing its 13,000-acre campus atop the ecologically diverse Cumberland Plateau, the program provides an interdisciplinary introduction to environmental studies.

‌‌This two-week experience explores the diverse ecosystems of the Cumberland Plateau: its forests, coves, streams, lakes, wetlands, and caves. Students participate in ecological exploration with senior faculty examining the plant and animal species that inhabit these ecosystems and use archeological techniques, along with GIS and GPS technology, to study how people have used and changed these ecosystems over time. Students learn how conservation strategies are currently being employed to protect the integrity of Plateau ecosystems into the future.

‌

The experience is conducted almost exclusively in the field, featuring field mapping equipment, digital photography, ecological assessment techniques and group research projects. As part of this experience, students have the opportunity to take part in a number of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, bouldering, canoeing, caving, and mountain biking.

For the summer 2015 program, participants will arrive on Sunday, June 28 and depart at noon on Saturday, July 11.

Ty Cobb Educational Foundation

 

Ty Cobb Educational Foundation

The Foundation was established by the late Tyrus R. Cobb for the purpose of assisting capable and deserving residents of Georgia who need financial assistance in completing their college education.                        

Foundation scholarships are granted to qualified students for the purpose of attending an accredited college or university full time.                                                                                                                                                                                               

Although Ty Cobb’s top annual salary as a baseball player was less than $40,000, his shrewd investments made him a financial success at an early age.                                                                                                                 

One of the many investments that contributed to his early success was the purchase of stock in a little-known Southern beverage company called Coca-Cola. Cobb’s financial prosperity eventually allowed him to establish a scholarship program that has to date assisted thousands of Georgians to attend college.
