Andrea Norton, 20, was on a trip for her environmental science major when she fell to her death.

A college student studying environmental science fell about 100 feet to her death while hiking on a class trip to the Ozarks, officials said.

Andrea Norton, 20, was among a group of Briar Cliff University students who traveled to Hawksbill Crag in Arkansas’ Ozark National Forest on Sunday morning as part of a class activity, Newton County Sheriff Glenn Wheeler said.

Witnesses said she repositioned herself for a photo and then fell, CNN affiliate KYTV reported.
