Comments on the EEGS Dept Program you were enrolled in

I ended up in my first GIS class at Lehman somewhat by happy accident, but I stayed because of the professors. The EEGS program is special. As a student I felt like the professors truly enjoyed teaching us. It may sound obvious, but it makes a huge difference when you know your professors care about your learning experience.
