GEODUC — which stands for Geoscience Education, Oceanographic Discovery and Undergraduate Collaboration — is a place-based, National Science Foundation-funded program spearheaded by faculty and staff in the College of the Environment. Created to broaden the depth and breadth of perspectives that inform scientific inquiry in marine science fields, GEODUC actively recruits UW transfer students from all disciplines.
GEODUC begins with a 10-day residency at Friday Harbor Labs each September, where transfer students experience the geosciences through hands-on exploration, fieldwork and research. Back in Seattle, GEODUC students meet for weekly seminars throughout the academic year beginning in autumn quarter, where they build community, learn important academic skills, and prepare for successful careers. The seminars feature speakers from a variety of backgrounds who share how they found their way in the sciences, helping students to see that they, too, belong in the research community.
In this episode, students from the program and professors José Guzmán and Mikelle Nuwer share about the GEODUC experience.
Additionally, the GEODUC teaching team recently was awarded the UW’s Distinguished Teaching Award for Teams, one of the University’s highest teaching recognitions. The team includes:
Jane Dolliver (she/her), Program Manager, College of the Environment
