Winter Break at WHOI

A group of undergraduate students came to WHOI to sample oceanography during their 2012 winter break, through the Institutions Ocean Research Experience (ORE) program. The students, from liberal arts colleges, took classes taught by MIT/WHOI Joint Program graduate students and worked on short research projects. In this class, Vice President for Academic Programs and Dean James Yoder and grad student Maya Yamato (standing) watched undergraduates (seated, left to right) Jay Brett, Christopher Elliot, Akemi Berry, Stephen Hesterberg (obscured, white shirt) and Gail Schwieterman dissect fish. The ORE program, supported by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, is one of several undergraduate educational programs WHOI offers.(Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
