Thank you
…to our donors for your steadfast commitment to the Graduate School of Oceanography. Because of you, we were able to weather the storm throughout one of our most challenging years to date. Your donations funded our work, enabled research, helped students, and allowed us to creatively pivot to a virtual learning environment. You also lifted our spirits and gave us much-needed fuel along the way.
Donors to GSO are special; you are a dedicated community of alumni, parents, corporations, foundations, faculty, staff, partners and friends. And we are grateful for your continued support and belief in all that we accomplish across campus and in the water.
Thank you for accompanying GSO students, faculty, and staff in our work to advance ocean research and identify solutions for marine challenges. Your support and partnership are critical to our shared success.
