Smith EFS Classes
Smith EFS has been used primarily by Hartwick College faculty and students as a base of operations for field research and teaching. Below are use statistics for the field station from 2004 through 2008. Use (in person-days) increased in 2005 and 2007 due to enrollment in the archaeology course. Not all courses reported the number of students enrolled who used the field station. Approximately 82% of the activity in the field station is related to research and 18% to teaching. In an informal survey, 30% of all senior projects in the biology department used the field station or Pine Lake for all or part of their research.
