[GEOG MAJORS] Wild Rockies Field Institute

[Nell Gross]

WRFI is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana and accredited through the University of Montana. We offer undergraduate students opportunities to earn upper-division credits through academic, experiential field studies in the Rocky Mountain West. Students spend time backpacking, cycling, and kayaking in the wildernesses of Montana, Utah, and New Mexico while earning credit toward their degree. We offer rigorous academics<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.wrfi.net/academics/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jg6qv9kxJxsd-BZoCGa8jM3dh4qfNZvKYvKMSvhdlGL8pLpya3bL8tX14M2xF-pb9KkG5yfUVD2aPg$> with small class sizes, hands-on learning, and highly regarded instructors. We’ve brought students into the field from more than 100 universities, from a wide variety of majors, to learn about complex conservation and social justice issues.

I acknowledge the past and present Indigenous Peoples for their knowledge and relationship with these lands since time immemorial. I am learning to live respectfully as a visitor and steward of these lands, and I am working toward a legacy of kinship for future generations.
