Yes they were asked to pull out their phones! Apologies for the dark picture<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As this is my first blog post from my current position, I&#8217;ll introduce myself. I am the Summer Scholars Program Coordinator this year, drawing from my experience as\u00a0a Summer Scholar in 2013. Since January, I have been helping to set up the program, including advertising, reviewing applications, interviewing, and event planning, among other things. In the fall, I am off to pursue a Master of Science in Marine and Environmental Science at the University of the Virgin Islands. Until then,\u00a0I will be supporting the students and their mentors throughout the summer, helping them to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for updates on the scholars and their use of social media, on Twitter at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SarahLHeidmann\" target=\"_blank\">@SarahLHeidmann<\/a><\/strong> and\/or\u00a0here on the blog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our 2015 Summer Scholars are here!
