In their own words
"The Joint Program has been a phenomenal academic home for me the past four years. I have learned so much, felt so supported, and been able to pursue a diverse range of scientific pursuits and experiences. It's been a blast!"
-B.B. Cael
"I got the impression at Open House that the students were a tight-knit community, and that could not be more true. The students here hold each other up, support each other, and collaborate in a way that I haven't seen anywhere else."
-Suzi Clark
"As you walk around WHOI you begin to realize why so many brilliant people have convened on the set of questions posed by the vastness of the oceans. This reason is why you're there, too: to do your best part in answering what you can, with the help of so many drawn to the same class of interconnected mysteries. The Joint Program is where you come to be part of an effort that none of us can undertake alone."
