"OCG is what made me want to become a marine scientist and also what encouraged me to want to pursue a graduate degree in this field! The chance to work with graduate students as a camper and get a taste of what they experience day-to-day was valuable in helping me understand the role of graduate school in STEM fields, and the chance to get out in the field and use real equipment helped me understand scientists in a way that I hadn’t before. The experience I had at OCG is a big part of why I am in this field today!" –Kelly Vasbinder, Camp alumna & science mentor
