Dr. Joshua B. Weil

My time in Woods Hole and on board Westward for W-79 still ranks as one of my fondest memories. I felt so at home. Even though it's been almost 20 years, I still feel bonded to my classmates. I've been very excited for all the growth SEA has experienced and the (now not so) new campus. But there was something very special about having classes in the basement of the whaling church and staying in Thompson House and Little House."

W-155, Captain of Makulu II for Reach the World

More than the adventure and academics that originally lured me to SEA, I was most impacted by the instructors’ commitment, expertise and intellectual-mindedness. They could have been successful at a million different careers, and they chose the sea. They encouraged us as individuals, exemplified how to come together as a crew and challenged us to stretch beyond our perceived limits and address our weaknesses.”
