Cherie recently took the Form and Function of Unique Marine Ecosystems course at Unity College with Tanya Lubansky.
"I’ve been attending Unity since January 2022, before this, I was attending a traditional four-year university. I chose Unity because it saved me roughly fifteen thousand dollars compared to the school I was already attending for the same degree. Unity’s class set-ups also provide me with a flexible schedule so that I can work and support myself while still earning my degree.
I’m currently located in Colorado and am earning my Bachelor's in Marine Biology and Sustainable Aquaculture. With this education, I’m hoping to better understand our oceans, the life they hold, our influence on them, the different ecosystems within them, and the varying processes they undergo. With this degree, I plan on either a career working out in the field as a scientist or working in a fishery. I want to work with fish because they absolutely fascinate me, and I want to have an impact on them and their habitats.
Form & Function of Unique Marine Ecology was one of the most in-depth and fascinating classes I have taken so far! This class covered the dynamics in marine communities, patterns in marine diversity, nearshore ecosystems, offshore ecosystems, and human impact on marine systems. I loved how the class structure was set up because, while it provided plenty of wiggle room, the due dates and assignments provided ample interaction and involvement opportunities with my fellow peers and teacher. It encouraged learning in a timely manner and allowed me the freedom to ask any questions I had in a judgment-free environment. My favorite part of the class was learning about the deep sea, the unique yet bizarre creatures that live there, and how they manage to survive in such extreme conditions."
