Undergraduate Research in Marine and Aquatic Sciences

Session ID#: 253469

Session Description:
Research opportunities are increasingly offered to undergraduate students and recent graduates to help them understand marine and aquatic sciences and offer them an opportunity to consider career options. This session will provide a venue for undergraduate and post- baccalaureate research in a general session that highlights the wide variety of student research. Presenting at meetings is an opportunity for students to engage with the science community and for interested faculty to discuss potential projects. This session is designed for students who are presenting for the first time at a scientific meeting and for mentors looking for possible graduate students. Students are not limited to this session, and we encourage any student who wishes to submit an abstract to a specialized science session in the subject of their research to consider that option as well.
