During the Spring 2015 semester, I am studying away at Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML) in Beaufort, North Carolina and St. John, United States Virgin Islands. I heard about this amazing opportunity when I was first applying to Allegheny and I was immediately intrigued.
I'm expecting to be completely immersed in the subject of marine sciences– a subject/course that I have not had the opportunity to take yet. So I'm eager to finally delve into a passion that I've had since my childhood. I'm hoping to gain experience in the field and find my "niche" within the marine science community, while becoming more independent and confident in my academic career. Not only that, but I am hoping to learn more about myself culturally, socially, and personally.
I am expecting to leave DUML even more curious than I was when I first arrived (if that's even possible). Once I return to Allegheny College, I want to be able to reflect on this remarkable experience and all of the various ways that I have changed.
