Honoring the past, celebrating the future
Thank you to everyone who joined the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, and to the many who participated in the Reunion earlier this year, contributed photos or stories, or just reconnected via this blog. As we honor this unique moment in our history, looking back on 50 years of accomplishment and growth, and look to the future with new programs for students and a new research and education building, we are so pleased to have you with us, It has been an amazing experience!
We are winding down our celebrations, but will continue this blog and Photo of the Week through 2015, so stay with us!
Michele Longo Eder, OSU Board of Trustees
If you missed the celebration, follow these links to see Rick Spinrad’s talk, How Oceanography Saved the World, our slideshow of historic photos, NEW history webpages and our NEW VIDEO highlighting the Marine Studies initiative. The video is by Saskia Madlener of 77th Parallel Productions, and we’re pretty jazzed about it.
Meanwhile, we’ll be here! We are shifting our focus to the future as we launch the Marine Studies Initiative and continue our fundraising for a new building.
Dr. Rick Spinrad, NOAA Chief Scientist and HMSC Alumnus
