Saint Louis University, in conjunction with its new Lay Field Station, is offering a writing workshop this summer.

The workshop will be taught in new classrooms and laboratories with computers, microscopes and a variety of field equipment used in ecological studies. A registration fee of $465 includes six nights lodging, all meals, field trips, a writing package, textbooks, a field journal and hand lens. Other field equipment also will be available to participants. One hour of college credit is a available for an additional $277.
