The uniqueness and appeal of the Marine, Estuarine and Environmental Sciences Program stems from its interdisciplinary structure. Graduate students have a great deal of flexibility designing their individual study and research programs while maintaining an extensive interactions among the 200 MEES associated faculty. Now entering its fourth decade, the MEES Program is widely regarded as one of the outstanding graduate programs for marine, estuarine, and environmental sciences in the country. Perhaps the most demonstrative indicator of success for the MEES Program at the University of Maryland is the professional venues of our alum.
We are now focusing our efforts on rebuilding an indispensable MEES Alumni Community. As it develops, the Community will offer more than 1,200 MEES alumni the opportunity to become actively involved and closely tied to the life and support of their program. As the alumni network evolves, the community will reconnect alumni with each other and the school. It will also facilitate the recognition of alumni achievements encouraging alumni to be more involved in the success of the MEES Program, through mentoring and career development of the program's current students. If you are interested in volunteering to assist in this effort or would like more information, please send an email to mees@umd.edu.
