NSU Oceanographic Center Participates in
Florida Oceans Day in the State Capitol

As it has for the last four years, NSU's Oceanographic Center participated in Florida Oceans Day by manning a booth at the State Capitol. Different from past years, though, when the NSU banner was hung over the railing in the Rotunda, this year all the exhibits were outside, in the Capitol Plaza. A mild, beautiful day graced the exhibit area, with only an occasional gust of wind to challenge some of the taller exhibits. Many people stopped by to chat and ask questions, especially about the OC's graduate school distance education program.

Representing the OC were Richard E. Dodge, Ph.D., dean of the OC and executive director of the OC's National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI), and Carol R. Fretwell, coordinator of administrative operations for NCRI.
