This forum brings together graduate students and faculty advisors from various laboratories across the Department of Oceanography, spanning the fields of marine physics, geology, chemistry, and biology. Through facilitated discussions, participants have the opportunity to build relationships and deepen professional connections.

The program features brief self-introductions from both students and faculty, highlighting their individual backgrounds and research areas. An interactive question-and-answer session in a game format helps participants develop a better understanding of one another.

Additionally, to ensure that graduate students have a comprehensive understanding of departmental operations, the Department Office was represented at the forum. Staff members presented brief overviews of their respective functions and encouraged students to reach out to the office should they have any questions or need assistance. The event concluded in a warm and collegial atmosphere.
