Time to highlight one of our amazing current Marine Conservation and Policy students, Steve Silverman!
Where did you go to undergrad?
Binghamton University, graduated in 2020 with an Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior Biology Major and Environment Sciences minor.
Why did you choose the MCP program?
I chose the MCP program for its interdisciplinary approach to marine conservation, and for the world-renowned faculty, many of whom are focused on public outreach/education.
What has been your favorite part of the program?
My favorite part of the program has been getting to know the other students. Seeing the different perspectives on various topics due to our diverse backgrounds and interests really culminates for a great learning environment.
What is your internship?
I am working at the Long Island Aquarium where I will be studying how effective a visit to the aquarium is at not only educating visitors, but also getting them to promote marine conservation and start to take action.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love to draw and create art. Recently I have been using procreate, an illustrative design app on the iPad, to create pieces geared towards environmental conservation.
