  • Environmental Studies Field Work

    Our Environmental Studies Program upperclassmen were involved in a "marsh study" near the Karen Noonan Environmental Education Center, a twenty-acre marsh habitat in southern Dorchester County.  The Center was once one of the great Chesapeake Bay hunting lodges, renovated to its new purpose in 1995.  This is one of about five remote and spectacular Bay locations we use in our Program.
