Hello everyone, John LaCross here from Alpena, Michigan. I just arrived in Florida, a few days before I board R/V Walton Smith for an 11-week internship.
The ship is owned and operated by University of Miami and ported at Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key, just south of Miami’s South Beach.
I recently returned to my home town of Alpena and graduated from Alpena Community College’s Marine Technology program and I’m very excited and grateful for the hands-on experience I’m about to gain.
Hope everyone has a great day and I’ll be back in touch soon!
