MIT Summer Research Program Students Visit the USGS Woods Hole Science Center
The group that visited the USGS was part of a larger group of MSRP students who came for a 1-day tour of the research institutions in Woods Hole: the Marine Biological Laboratory, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Marine Fisheries Service, the Sea Education Association, the USGS, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Woods Hole Research Center. The students toured the facilities of the institutions and received a presentation at the end of their tour explaining the various research programs available in Woods Hole. The MSRP program provides opportunities to talented undergraduate students from underprivileged backgrounds to do summer research at MIT in either science or engineering. USGS participants were Claudia Flores and Chris Polloni. The visit and tour were organized by Julia Westwater of the WHOI Academic Programs Office and Regina Campbell-Malone, a WHOI postdoctoral investigator.
