This past June, the Halmos College welcomed 18 students from South Broward High School’s Ocean STEM summer camp to the Oceanographic Campus. These students worked with Halmos faculty and graduate students to understand the life cycle of hard corals, how to maintain corals in an aquaculture setting, mapping corals on the ocean floor, identifying soft corals in the lab, and working with a 3D scanner.
As well as their time at the Oceanographic Campus, these students visited the Marine Environmental Education Center to meet “Captain” and learn about sea turtles. At the Fort Lauderdale/Davie campus, they met with faculty and staff to learn about environmental sampling and identifying what they found.
The week culminated with a day-long shark tagging trip sponsored in part by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. Unfortunately, even after a hard day of laying out bait and pulling in the drum lines, we were unable to catch a shark.
The OSTEM camp is an innovative summer program designed to allow students to explore careers in the marine field and do research investigations centered on marine and aquatic environments.
Join Head Coach Brian Rosen, the NSU Volleyball Coaching Staff, and members of the NSU Women’s Volleyball Team as they host volleyball camps in the Rick Case Arena. Camps are the week of July 8-14 and there are four different camps to choose from for grades 5-12. Evening and day camps available.

High school students with an interest in neuroscience can get a step ahead in research by signing up for the College of Psychology’s two-week neuroscience summer training program, which runs from June 17-28, 2019.
The program, now in its sixth year, gives students a hands-on opportunity to conduct experiments, attend faculty lectures, and present the results of their research at a poster session. The theme for 2019 is sports neuroscience and is a collaboration between the College of Psychology and the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences. Faculty members from both colleges are collaborating on research on this topic.
“The students will be able to participate in lab activities in the neuroscience lab and the exercise science lab. Along with experiments where they learn about action potentials and basic brain anatomy, they will also learn about exercise science techniques, such as measures of muscle activation and body composition,” said Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Professor Jaime Tartar, Ph.D., one of the program’s co-organizers.
The two-week program is open to high school students who will be entering their junior or senior year in fall 2019. The program costs $250, which includes registration/processing and tuition. Registration will be on a rolling basis until the cap of 20 students is reached. Students must submit their $50 registration by May 10, with final payment of the $200 tuition due May 27.
