About the Field School: In June, the Andes and Amazon Field School begins its 11th season.  The mission of the Field School is: 1) to carry out practical research on the Andean/Amazonian region leading to improved quality of life; and   2) to train students for careers working with indigenous communities whether through NGOs, government agencies, or business.  The Field School focuses its research and teaching on the Amazonian environment, indigenous health, and Quichua language training.  To date 186 undergraduates and 130 graduate students from 70 colleges and universities havecompleted the program.  Many students have been awarded USDE Fellowships to attend including 75 FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) Fellowships, 15 Fulbright-Hayes and 19 teacher fellowships.   In 2005 the University of Pittsburgh became joint sponsor of the Field School.
