Each summer, COSEE-Pacific Partnerships offers week-long professional development institutes for community college faculty at our partners marine stations. Each day focuses on a specific ocean science topic and includes a presentation by scientists who study the topic and curriculum materials, including lab exercises and field activities where appropriate, that could be used in a community college course. Participants receive a stipend, housing, and meals.
