Hello UW Students!

I’ll be visiting UW campus for general information sessions about taking courses at Friday Harbor Laboratories onWednesday, October 19th at 3:30pm AND Thursday, October 20th at 11:30am and 2:00pm in FSH 207! RSVP via this form is requested but not required to attend [docs.google.com]. If you can’t make the session, you can also fill out the form to have me contact you at a later date.

If you aren’t familiar with FHL, we are UW’s satellite marine research station located in the San Juan Islands. We host courses in autumn, summer, and spring quarter. All of our courses emphasize field research and “getting your hands dirty” as a major component of the coursework.

For spring quarter we will offer:

• Spring Marine Studies – 7 courses to choose from for 12-18 credits, including Marine Mammals of the Salish Sea (yes, you get to observe orcas in the wild), Indigenous History and Environment of the Salish Sea (DIV credit), Science Writing (W credit), Natural History of the Salish Sea, and Introductory Biology (BIOL 180 in a class of ~20 students instead of 500!).
• Zoology Botany Program – Earn 16 credits towards your degree learning the fundamentals in Zoology and Botany while conducting your own research project! Earn Integrative Field Experience credit for MarBio majors.

Please pass along to anyone you think may be interested and direct all questions to me. See you then!
