Ocean Institute (Dana Point, CA) is thrilled to announce the 2022 Virtual Marine and Environmental Sciences College and Career Fair following the success of their inaugural Marine and Environmental Sciences College Fair in 2021. 

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.

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.
