Sylvia Gill

Vassar College
from Ashland, OR

I decided to participate in the SFS South Caicos program because I wanted to have an intense and deeply involved experience. I felt the need to escape from the traditional academic setting and enter one where all areas of human impact are included in education and future decision making. SFS presents an environment where informed decision making is encouraged and not limited to just one field of academia (i.e. politics, economics, biology, sociology, etc.), but rather, integrates these fields to generate educated decisions that will affect the environment and economy. I know I will gain increased respect for the environment, my peers, and the difficulties of figuring out how to solve environmental problems. I enjoy snow and water skiing, listening to music, running, going to Broadway shows and concerts, and learning.
