She described the many experiential learning opportunities she pursued outside of the classroom, tracking sharks of the coast of Rhode Island, California, and Mexico. O&#8217;Sullivan participated in a two-week J-term course in Bonair, a small island off the coast of Venezuela, SCUBA diving daily and learning about coral reef conservation. During her internship running the public outreach programs at the Wetlands Institute, she discovered a love for environmental education. &#8220;I believe that education and public outreach are some of the most important things we can do to protect our oceans and give the public a greater understanding of marine life,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O&#8217;Sullivan is working on her Masters of Environmental Science and Management (MESM) in the Environmental Communication track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah O&#8217;Sullivan speaks about the importance of hand-on learning experiences she had while earning her undergraduate degree\u2013a B.S. in Marine Biology\u2013at URI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1962,"featured_media":374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1962"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":531,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316\/revisions\/531"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/bio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
