Jan Hodder, University of Oregon

I am a marine biologist at the University of Oregon's Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) and the Director of the Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence -Pacific Partnerships (COSEE-PP). The COSEE-PP project has concentrated on providing 2YC faculty and students with professional opportunities to work with ocean scientists and learn about current ocean science research. Our research internship program, Promoting Research Investigations in the Marine Environment – PRIME –brings community college students to four Pacific marine labs for a mentored summer research experience. I am also one of the co-PIs on the SAGE 2YC project.
