For Students, Parents, and COUNSELORS: This FREE event gives you the opportunity to learn about high education programs in the areas of marine and environmental sciences. Live presentations, college and university exhibits, potential career paths, and more aim to help students learn more about the post-high school opportunities.

For Colleges/Universities/ Organizations: Showcase your marine and environmental sciences programs to a national audience of college-bound students, along with their parents and counselors through a virtual exhibit booth, and receive leads for all students, parents, and counselors who engage with you during the program.
