Adelphi in Australia
Adelphi in Australia is a summer course offered by Adelphi that focuses on field-based research and emphasizes exploring the incredible biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef and the Australian rain forest (the Wet Tropics). It is offered both by the Biology Department and the Environmental Studies Program and is structured into two different courses: an introduction to coral reef and terrestrial ecology, geology, and oceanography (for students with limited science background), and an advanced course aimed at majors and graduate students in the respective departments.

School of Education Professor Tracy Hogan and Environmental Studies Director Beth Christensen Awarded Grant
Both Tracey Hogan and Beth Christensen have been awarded a grant to establish the Adelphi University Science Education Advancement (SEA) Program, designed to support students majoring in the sciences and working toward teaching certification. In addition to working in the classroom, students will be exposed to local and international field experience and paid summer internships. The program is open to STEP students in their junior year of a science major, or graduate students interested in the accelerated one-year program in science education. Interested students please contact Professor Christensen.
Christine Sangobowale M.S. '11 is pursuing her master's degree in environmental science at Adelphi University and works at Pfizer in research and development on immunology and microbiology. A summer internship during college led Christine to her career path. Entry Point!, a program that offers internships in science to students with disabilities, placed her at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration where she discovered her passion for environmental science. Christine, who has sickle cell anemia, says she is thankful that her parents encouraged her to pursue a career in science.
Christine was one of five women chosen for WAMC's "Access to Advancement" series, an audio exploration of the national effort to increase the role of women with disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The nearly eight minute piece was broadcasted in seven states in the northeast, and will
be distributed throughout the summer around the world in 177 countries. womeninscience.org.
