The Ocean and Coastal Studies Semester of Williams College and Mystic Seaport Museum
Adventurous students of all majors welcome. Each semester, students tackle topics such as environmental justice and climate change. We are not holding an in-person Spring 2021 semester. We highly encourage students to apply now for our Fall 2021 or Spring 2022 semesters or request information.
During the Fall 2020 semester, our five faculty members co-taught a virtual course titled The Global Ocean: An Interdisciplinary Introduction. Read more about the immersive nature of the course and the importance of interdisciplinary education here.
Our faculty members will teach this course again during the Spring 2021 semester.
Alumni and Friends: Join the Williams-Mystic Alumni and Friends Facebook Group or the Williams-Mystic Alumni LinkedIn Group.
Speaking of alumni, we encourage you to read about Devon Parfait’s (F’18) research into the disproportionate land loss indigenous communities are facing in southern Louisiana.
