Here is our schedule for the quarter:
Developing Transferable Skills I: What skills are employers looking for? 

Come join Washington Sea Grant’s Crab Team’s annual bonanza to cut, weigh, and bag all 800lb of mackerel to be used across the green crab monitoring network in 2025. It can get a bit messy, but there are various jobs to choose from (some less messy than others), along with good music and even better company. Grab a friend and sign up for the fun!

For those of you who I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Clara, and I am the Undergraduate Co-Chair and Marine Biology representative on this year’s College of the Environment Student Advisory Council (SAC) this year. In my position, I work as an intermediary between the Dean’s office and undergraduate students within the Marine Biology Department.

Maya Tolstoy (Dean of the College of the Environment) & Frank Hodge (Dean of the Foster School of Business) invite you to an exclusive presentation with David Baldwin, founder of OpenMinds and Dean Tolstoy to discuss, “Accelerating Climate and Energy Progress”, and to explain what OpenMinds is doing to address the dual challenge of meeting increasing energy demand, while also addressing the urgent need to decarbonize.   

You’re invited! Join WashPIRG, American Cetacean Society, Orca Conservancy, Se’Si’Le, and Save Our Wild Salmon for a FREE Coextinction film screening on January 25th!
“After a mother orca carries her dead calf for 17 days, two filmmakers spring into action, joining Indigenous leaders and scientists making a final attempt to save the last 73 Southern Resident orcas from extinction. Moving beyond a traditional wildlife documentary, Coextinction takes audiences deep into the oceans and forests of the Pacific Northwest to witness the complex systems of interconnectedness linking together ecosystem collapse, centuries of injustice against Indigenous peoples, and the frontlines of the world’s most pressing environmental threats.
