Fall 2024 MEES Colloquium

The Fall 2024 MEES Colloquium at the Horn Point Laboratory provided an excellent opportunity for research exchange and community-building within the MEES program. Attended by IAN graduate students Veronica Malabanan Lucchese and Anikka Fife, along with IAN UMCES faculty members, Director Heath Kelsey and Dr. Vanessa Vargas-Nguyen, the event featured a panel discussion, lightning talks, poster presentations, workshops, and various social activities, including a bonfire and field trips. Veronica delivered a lightning talk on her social network analysis of Chesapeake Bay Management and a poster highlighting her work with invasive species through EJJI’s Reel Rewards Program. This year’s colloquium allowed students and faculty to share their work, build networks, and engage in meaningful discussions.
