Last summer, we had the pleasure of hosting a film production crew from Seedlight Pictures, who produced an amazing short film about the School of the Environment. Apart from the very high quality of the film itself, what I like most is its narrative emphasis on the students and the experiences they had. As the director of the SoE, I can easily wax rhapsodic about the curriculum, the students, the teachers, and the setting for hours, but this film does more to capture and convey the experience than anything I can say.

If you’re at all curious about what the SoE is actually like, you should really check this out. It’s a great way to spend 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
And a thousand thank yous to Bridget Besaw and Tahria Sheather of Seedlight for their work in helping the students tell their story.
