Marine Science Outreach
Outreach to Local Schools and Teaching Experiences
The SSU Marine Science Department participates in marine education and outreach throughout the Savannah area and surrounding cities through community events, local school visits, and Coast Camp. SSU Marine Science students have the opportunity to reinforce their scientific knowledge by teaching younger students at outreach events. Graduate and Undergraduate students are trained in science communication through our outreach activities with community partners.
Potential outreach opportunities include:- Field trips to Savannah State University
- STEM nights at local schools
- Community events such as festivals and recruitment/career days
- Southern Stingray Bowl (regional competition of NOSB)
- SSU Coast Camp
