MEES Colloquium 2018 in the mountains

25 people sit on a patio, spread out over 3 picnic tables. The patio is next to a large, brick building and a grassy area with low, rock walls.The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences Marine and Estuarine Environmental Sciences graduate program (UMCES-MEES) held its annual colloquium on October 5-6, 2018 at the Appalachian Laboratory in Frostburg, MD. This event is a day and a half of collaboration, sharing, and learning for the students in the MEES program and a chance for them to get to know other students and professors throughout the program. A highlight for many students was the discussion panel that included environmental professionals in state and federal positions, at a non-governmental organization, and teaching at a liberal arts university.
