DMC invites prospective students to tour campus Oct. 28

Prospective students and their families are invited to tour the Darling Marine Center in Walpole at 10 a.m. Oct. 28 to learn about the marine sciences academic program and undergraduate opportunities.

Tour guides Genny Wilson and David Gauld, undergraduates-in-residence at the DMC for the fall Semester By the Sea program, will answer questions about the School of Marine Sciences and the center, as well as share why they chose UMaine.

Since June, Gauld has been at the DMC working on his capstone research project. Under the guidance of Rick Wahle, Gauld is studying the effect of temperature on the heart rate of embryonic American lobsters. The last two summers, Wilson has held internships in Rhian Waller’s deep sea ecology lab. She most recently worked with sea pens collected from the Gulf of Maine.

Contact Linda Healy, 563.8220 or lhealy@maine.edu by noon Oct. 26 to register for the tour or request a reasonable accommodation.
