what previous students say about EISI

Max Brugger (2008) - "The EISI program took me away from the boring office everyone assumes a math major will end up in, and into the forest with all the Pacific Giant Salamanders and large woody debris I could want. I really felt like the research I was
doing could have an impact on the way streams are managed in Oregon forests."

Quincey Blanchard (2008) – “The EISI program gave me the opportunity to meet new people who are interested in the environment but have completely different backgrounds than my own. And we were set in the beautiful H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, we couldn't have been in a better place for hikes and swims.”

Benjamin Blonder (2008) – “Working at HJA was a transformative experience that exposed me to so many new perspectives and ideas. I loved being in the forest, always living my science.”

Sean McGregor (2008) – “If you are that rare breed that likes math/CS AND nature, then you must do this program. I learned artificial intelligence, etymology, Python, Django, chess strategy, river kayaking, geology, forestry, logging, ultimate frisbee, river walking, off roading, rafting, bridge jumping, and the list goes on. I will always remember this summer.”

Johanna Weston (2008) – “EISI provides an excellent opportunity to add to the legacy of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest with innovative ecoinformatics research. Living and working at the Andrews provides spring board right into the heart of the Oregon Cascades.”

Robin Leung (2008) – “I loved getting out into the forest with a group of intelligent people and having a lot of fun while being creative, and think that the closeness of the group was a great experience and excellent for future life.”
