[ESSP] Marine Science Information

[Steve Roof]

Dear Students,

Welcome back!  I hope your semester is off to a good start.

As the new coordinator of the Five College Coastal and Marine Science 
Program, I look forward to facilitating your study and exploration of 
marine science.  I am here to help you find internship, work, and 
volunteer opportunities.  I invite you to peruse the program's website at 
www.fivecolleges.edu/sites/marine.  Also, be on the lookout for the 
October newsletter.

In the meantime, there are several events next week co-sponsored by the 
FCC&MS Program:

On Friday the 29th, Dr. Stan Rachootin from Mount Holyoke College will 
present "Charles Darwin tackles species and diversity (and puts the 
results on a shelf)" as part of the UMass Organismic and Evolutionary 
Biology Series.  The talk starts at 4:00pm in 319 Morrill Science Center 
2.  Refreshments at 3:45.

There is also a Sea Education Association info session on Thursday the 
28th.  Gary Jaroslow, SEA Associate Dean, will tell you how to put 
yourself aboard a tall ship. Find out how you can earn 17 credit hours 
learning about oceanography, nautical science, and maritime studies. 
12:10-1:00 pm at Smith College, Bass 102.  Lunch is provided. 
Co-sponsored by the Smith Environmental Science and Policy program.

I look forward to seeing you at these events.
