Maren recently took the Coral Ecology and Conservation course at Unity College with Professor Dominique McCowan.
"I chose Unity College, a school I assumed was in the middle of the woods, in a state I have never had any interest in prior, all because of its uniqueness. I attended a college fair in high school and among all the rows of these big-name colleges was this forest green booth with a big white U and a little pine tree and a man who looked an awful lot like Santa. The booth read "America's Environmental College" and I think that was the only time I've ever fallen in love at first sight.
I am earning my Master's degree in Marine Science with a focus on Coral Reef Biodiversity and Conservation.
My favorite part of the classes at Unity is how personal they are. The class sizes are small and I can do all of my work remotely. The professors are all so knowledgeable and kind. They really love their work which makes learning from them a great experience.
In the future, I want to investigate Conservation techniques for seaweeds and work with restoring the algae found in intertidal zones."
