Members of the Marine Science Undergraduate Society (MSUS) from USC Columbia have ongoing research projects on Pritchards Island. Interested club members can sign up to help them on the weekends. Students pay a $10.00 fee to cover lodging for 2 nights. Working with MSUS will provide students with hands on research training and give them an opportunity to meet marine science students from the Columbia campus.
All USCB students were invited to attend seminars given by prospective candidates applying for the marine science professor position. The hiring process began in March. SEA Club members posted the dates and times for interviews.
