Amherst College On-Campus Opportunities

“Having my own project, since I was starting up my thesis lab work. ”

“My work felt really important because we were discussing the causes of mass extinctions with an approach that is fairly new to geological research. My professor made sure that all of us working in the lab were not just making progress in the data collection, but analyzing and understanding what our data meant. I am also grateful for the opportunity to travel to Montana to do field research, because practical application solidifies the theoretical skills we learn in the classroom.”
