Eye on UMSL: Field studies

Robert Perks enjoys the natural landscape and canopy of the North Campus Quad to study between classes. The UMSL junior said he chose the leafy, wooded study spot because it brings him closer to his major: biology.

The photograph was taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
