New Beginnings

On June 7th, WHOI Vice President for Academic Programs and Dean Jim Yoder will preside over the 2017 graduate reception for the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Ocean Science and Engineering. Since its beginning in 1968, the program has awarded more than 1,000 graduate degrees, and alumni work in academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and the U.S. Navy. This year marks the final graduate reception for Yoder, who will retire later this year after serving as Dean since moving to WHOI in 2005.
