In November 2022, Governor Jay Inslee made a surprise visit to the 天美影院Rome Center. During his visit, Governor Inslee interviewed Kenneth Sebens, Professor of Biology in the 天美影院Department of Biology and Professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences in the 天美影院College of the Environment, and Giovana Ramos, a senior at the 天美影院 studying Biology (Physiology), about a new study abroad program in Rome.
We have learned a lot about invertebrates and the ecology of what’s going on in the Mediterranean regarding climate change.
The Ecology of the Mediterranean Sea (Biology), the first 天美影院Study Abroad program to be sponsored by the Department of Biology in Rome, offered 15 天美影院students the opportunity to take courses on the Ecology of the Mediterranean Sea, Science Writing: The Environment, and Introduction to Italian during the Autumn 2022 quarter. Students participated in six field trips to coastal locations, including snorkeling and underwater photography.
