We’re in a Pennsylvania state of mind! While Penn State students recently sailed aboard the #corwithcramer for the travel/field component of their Bio course, University of Pennsylvania / The Wharton School MBA students put their leadership skills to the test in #newzealand aboard the #robertcseamans (pictured here). 👏📸, @retto314

Holy bombogenesis Batman! Yesterday's bombogenesis, a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure that creates what meteorologists call a bomb cyclone, was captured on SEA's barograph. It was a wild and windy day in Woods Hole! #StudyAbroad #AdventurewithaPurpose #FridayFunDay

Gretchen Beehler, from Purdue University, describes what she and her shipmates witnessed while snorkeling the coral reefs around Barbuda after the island was battered by hurricane Irma in September.

"My SEA Semester sailing experience taught me to be driven, disciplined, focused, and brave.... [and] helped my creativity, work ethic, and sense of adventure!" -Sarah Kettenmann, S-197 and C-230 #WednesdayWisdom #SEASemester #studyabroad

The holidays are over and now the adventure begins! SEA Semester's Woods Hole campus is once again buzzing with students and parents as we say "Welcome Aboard!" to class C-277 (Colonization to Conservation in the Caribbean) and S-277 (The Global Ocean). #SEASemester #StudyAbroad #TransformationTuesday

Have an adventure. Challenge myself. Study abroad. Make a difference. Be awesome. Do any of these remind you of your New Year’s resolutions? Then maybe you should consider a blue water passage aboard a tall ship ocean research vessel. #2018 #NewYearNewAdventures #NewYearsResolutions #SEAChange #AdventurewithaPurpose #NoworNever #DontMisstheBoat

There’s just ONE more day to donate to the Annual Fund! Supporting SEA prepares future generations of ocean scholars, stewards, and leaders. That’s good for the ocean – and the planet! http://bit.ly/2AlCnJ8

As the year comes to a close, SEA Semester students have some pretty amazing memories to share. Camila Mirow of Mount Holyoke College looks back at her recent Caribbean Reef Expedition. http://bit.ly/2BeNK6a #FridayFunDay #StudyAbroad #SpotTheTurtle

"The cross discipline study approach really helped me grow and appreciate how the value in learning all aspects of a project and to work together with others in a collaborative way, and more importantly in a way in which the success of everyone depended upon your completion of the task at hand." - John Buffum, W-76 #WednesdayWisdom #SEASemester #studyabroad

There are just four more days to support the Annual Fund! Your gift supports programs that address critical environmental issues, from ocean plastics to biodiversity in the Sargasso Sea. To donate: http://bit.ly/2AlCnJ8

"This voyage has been nothing short of exciting, humbling, adventurous, academic, and all-consuming in every aspect. I have loved every little second of it, from morning cleaning chores, to checking the engine in high heat and waves, to sailing, snorkeling, and lab; I would not trade the world for any of it." Hannah King, Connecticut College #TransformationTuesday #StudyAbroad http://bit.ly/2Cz9HwZ

... and Fair Winds and Following Seas for the New Year!
