“Through field trips, lectures, and labs, everyone was able to get a really hands-on experience. For basically all of the labs, we went out on the dock and collected samples of the things we were learning about in class. That kind of relationship between the class and the field is something I have never experienced. Friday Harbor Labs is unique in that you are able to directly observe the things you are reading about.”
–Alex Ulmke, FHL Student Autumn
Come to the information session to learn more about UW’s Friday Harbor Laboratories this Thursday, January 17th from 4:00-5:30PM in the Fishery Sciences Building, rm 203.
