The fall program season is wrapping up at the Marine Science Consortium, but exciting programs and projects remain active across campus.
Most of our seasonal marine science educators have departed for the year. They were a wonderfully fun, hard-working and intelligent staff, and we miss them already. As a final project they worked tirelessly between teaching groups to perfect our lobby display tank, which is now up and running.
University field trips concluded last weekend with a student led field excursion for the Kutztown Marine Science Club,
which included a morning of trawls in Cockle Creek and an afternoon beach clean-up on Wallops Island. The weekend was rounded out by dawn to dusk fieldwork for a group of Garrett College dendrology students.
The new college residence hall construction is well under way, scheduled for completion mid-winter. The building will be ready to offer *heat* for our early spring classes and *AC* for late spring and summer students!!
Our last busy week of programs kicks-off this weekend, with a Digital Nature and Photography Workshop, followed by a 2-day Coastal Ecology Program for homeschoolers, and project work for student volunteers from Fryeburg Academy.
We look forward to our first winter in new buildings, where things will still slow down as they did in the past, but neither our ability to host programs nor our fingers typing at our computers will freeze entirely!
