Entrada: Education
As a remote facility in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, Entrada Field Station provides a unique opportunity for place-based education. We provide educational experiences for undergraduates and graduate students - not just in the biological sciences, but the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, health, architecture, engineering, and physical sciences.
In addition to providing undergraduate and graduate level classes within the Utah System of Higher Education, Entrada also strives to enhance the teaching experience of K-12 educators. We recognize that today's youths are the key to a future economy in Utah that is both vibrant and environmentally-sound. Increasing teacher training and environmental education opportunities in K-12 audiences is one of our major goals.
With the Public Lecture Series, the Entrada Field Station hopes to encourage the adult population and local community to become aware of issues surrounding ecosystem sustainability, watershed health and global change at Entrada and in the Greater Colorado Plateau region. We hope these topics will act as springboards to broader conversations between environmental scientists, artists, historians and policy makers in southern Utah.
