Upcoming Events
July 13th – Outdoor Saturday at Aquidneck Growers Market, 10AM
Oysters, sustainable laundry detergent, lots of produce, mushrooms, eggs, flowers, and ramen. What do these things have in common you may ask? These are just a few examples of what is available for purchase at the Aquidneck Growers Market. I’m sure I don’t need to get preachy about the importance of eating fresh local crops, but I can if you want me to (just shoot me an email). Come join C&M in supporting local businesses at 25 Enterprise Drive in Middletown, the market runs from 9AM-12PM. Also of note, the market accepts reusable bag donations so if you also have a pile of reusable bags gathering dust bring them with you! Donated bags are given to shoppers who forgot to bring bags of their own.
July 24th – Lunch & Games on the Beach, 12PM
Take a walk down to the GSO campus beach to join us for a relaxing lunch by the water (BYOL). I know, especially recently, I tend to squirrel myself away in my office so that I don’t know if I’m missing out on a nice day. This has resulted in me missing out on so so many nice days. C&M will have volleyball and cornhole set up so you can take a small break from the work day and enjoy the sunshine (rain date July 25th).

Mission
Chowder and Marching (C&M) is a student organization at the University of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay Campus, whose major objective is to address all GSOE (Graduate School of Oceanography and Ocean Engineering) students’ professional, academic, and social needs and concerns.
C&M is heavily involved in the social environment of the Bay Campus, sponsoring and organizing GSOE activities such as Boat Burning, barbecues, trivia, and more throughout the year. We provide a framework which enhances communication between GSOE students, faculty, and administration, enabling us to identify and address specific issues of concern to students.
C&M determines its specific goals based on the input of the student body. Progress on these goals is reported and discussed at hour-long meetings held on a weekly basis. The organization is led by an Executive Committee elected annually by peers. The primary source of revenue for the Society comes from the generous donations of Faculty, Students, and Alumni. Valid expenditures of these funds are those which promote the goals of C&M.
