As daylight savings is upon us and the sun sets at 4pm, the idea of studying and working in sunny Miami gets very appealing.

Lucky for us, on Friday, November 15^th, a representative from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) will be in the Hakai Node (Rm. 216, AERL Building) for a presentation and a chat on Friday November 15^th from 2pm to 3pm.

Your senior undergraduate students may be interested in their Masters programs, while your grad students might be interested in their PhD programs.

Attached are brochures you may want to pass along to your student to flip through to explore the Rosenstiel School programs.

We will see you on Friday!
