"It's a great place to go and do what we do in a capstone course which is: entertain the big questions, do a survey of what students have learned over the last four years and talk about their future and the planet," Mccool said.

"Fewer breasts would have to be removed [due to decreasing the number of false positives]," said Josh Kaggie, a graduate research assistant at the U and another researcher on the project. Once the tumor has been located and determined to be either malignant or benign, proper treatment can be administered. This device could also give doctors the ability to monitor the treatment and therapy process more easily because of the shorter amount of time between the administration of the MRI and the a chance to work with professionals in a rare ecological system that includes not only unique unique alpine wildlands, sand dunes and wetlands, but also a diverse population of wildlife. The U has been sharing the Montana facility with Weber State, Montana State University and SUU. Counting both the student occupants and visiting corporations, about 25o people visit the center per season, Camp said. The season lasts from mid-June to mid-October, weather permit- ting. Approximately 14 different courses are offered. Mary Tull, the director of the center, believes the center to be a great place for all to learn, including herself. "I feel very fortunate to be working on this project, to be in the valley, to be able to facilitate and interact with such wonderful faculty and students. It's been an education for me. I've gained a tremendous amount personally in knowledge and understanding," Tull said. Tull has been director of the satel- printing of the image. The device could have impacts spanning further than just breast cancer screenings. Hadley said the device has also shown use for knee imaging to determine the condition of the cartilage is in. Results from this research were published in the September issue of the journal Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. The senior author on the paper was BYU electrical engineer Neal Bangerter. The device is only in the test stage and those associated with the project hope to begin testing on patients soon.

Each class varies in price, and there is a fee for room and board in the cabins. The Taft and Nicholson families started the nearly $5 million project in 2005 in a remote location that lies east of West Yellowstone. After an estimated 30,000 hours of reconstruction, the site was ready to serve students. Not all services are available, however, as the campus is 25 miles any direction on a dirt road and lies out of range for 3 both cell phone service and wireless internet. Camp feels the isolated campus gives students the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. "It's a place where you're disconnected. It's quiet and you have time to think and talk and learn differently," Camps said. Tull hopes this type of learning will inspire environmental activism in U students to solve complex ecosystem problems. c.tanner@chronicle.utah.edu letters@chronicle.utah.edu Even hamsters write letters to the editor.
