Good Morning Everyone,

These last six and a half weeks have been a wonderful experience in which I was able to work closely with like minded peers, make new friends, meet potential colleagues, meet interesting professors, researchers, scientists, and naturalists, learn more about graduate school from graduate students, contribute to local academic studies and statewide projects, observe each schools research discipline which helped me to determine potential graduate schools I would like to attend, learned about potential internships, opportunities, and jobs in marine biology field, expand my personal scientific knowledge and understanding, and most importantly grow as a person.

I've learned so much over the past six and half weeks and I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in such a dynamic, field work oriented, and holistic marine biology course. This course will continue to serve me in my future endeavors (i.e., internships, research opportunities, jobs, graduate school selection, and in selecting my specific research topic).

I would like to take a moment and thank all the people who were involved in the collaboration of this course. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience in which I feel I will use these skills for years to come.
