This is the best way to learn about the marine science programs at UW and plan for study at Friday Harbor Laboratories. Advisers from Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, Oceanography, Biology, and Marine Biology will be present to answer questions about their majors/minors. Billie Swalla, interim director at Friday Harbor Laboratories will also share information about current programs and research opportunities as well as answer questions regarding the logistics of planning a quarter of study at the labs.

Bagels will be served!

Following the program, at 11:30, representatives from the Coastal Observation And Seabird Survey Team (COASST) will provide information about their citizen science programs and internship opportunities for undergrads.
