Open House Spring 2017

Holly Doerr

Take a look at what students had in store for this year's MLML Open House. Thanks to all of those who came by and a special thanks to the students, faculty and donors that helped raise money for student scholarships! Six months of planning came together for two days of marine science with over 2700 visitors. This year the MLML Open House raised nearly $8,000 for student scholarships! 

The students of MLML would like to give our sincerest thank you to everyone who has helped with this year's Open House and crowdfunding efforts for student scholarships. Support came from MLML alumni, current staff & faculty, friends, family, and local businesses. Likewise, our first ever crowdfunding campaign was supported by 28 donors and met 104% of its targeted goal. Thank you so much!
