Are you interested in applying for internships, scholarships, or research experiences this year? Perhaps you are interested in the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, or are a first or second year student interested in the NOAA Hollings Scholarship?
If so, you are highly encouraged to attend two upcoming workshops that will teach you all about two of the most important aspects of putting together a competitive application for opportunities in the marine and aquatic sciences: Securing letters of recommendation, and writing compelling statements. 

What set you on the path to study marine biology?
I was 5 years old and watching Finding Nemo in the movie theater – that’s the moment I knew I wanted to be a marine biologist. Exploring beaches, snorkeling on holiday in Hawaii – these were things I’ve always loved to do. As a military kid, I moved to Washington and immediately fell in love with the incredible natural environment that’s really unique to us here. 

It was thrilling to be a part of the world of science communications and wildlife film and pave the way for other girls of color, like me, looking to make an impact in this creative field. 

The Career & Internship Center and the UW Alumni Association are proud to co-host a series of Alumni Panels throughout the 2023-24 academic year. Next week we’re excited to offer the following session, where students will be able to hear tips, experiences, insights, and recommendations from 2-4 UW alumni. The panel discussion will start as a moderated panel, and then move into an open Q&A with the audience. 

The National Diversity in Stem Conference (NDiSTEM) organized by the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics & Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity event in the U.S., serving to equip, empower, and energize participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM.
At the 2023 event held in October in Portland, SAFS graduate student, Nicole Doran, won the research presentation prize for Best Graduate Student Oral Presentation in the field of Ecology and Evolution, and recent Marine Biology graduate, Olivia Anderson, won a Native American/Indigenous Student Research Abstract Award.
