On May 5, we bid our Semester @ CMAST students a fond farewell. Before they left, however, came the really special part of their stay with us: Their final presentations for projects they completed while at CMAST. Following is a summary of the work that was done. The presentations were Powerpoints, videos, and speeches, followed by question and answer sessions from the audience.<\/p>\n
The presentations were followed by an unveiling of \u201cJosie,\u201d the re-articulated bottlenose dolphin skeleton completed with the help of the Semester @ CMAST students, now hanging in the CMAST lobby.<\/p>\n
