UW's FRIDAY HARBOR LABS INFO SESSION

Thurday April 12, 3:30-5pm in Thomson Hall 134

Learn how you can get involved with Friday Harbor Labs (FHL), UW’s world renowned marine station on
San Juan Island. FHL faculty and former students will share their experiences, talk about their
research, and answer questions. FHL is an ideal place to spend a quarter and jump-start your career in
the marine sciences, education, medicine, law and policy, poetry and more! All courses involve
fieldwork, boats, laboratory work, and research mentorship from award-winning faculty. Any UW student
can spend a quarter at FHL.

This Fall FHL is offering two unique programs:

1) The Marine Biology and Humanities Quarter will include English/CHID, creative writing, and marine
biology courses. This quarter is great for incoming freshman through seniors, no pre-requisite
coursework required.

2) The Pelagic (Open Water) Ecosystem Research Apprenticeship monitors the sensitive waters in the San
Juan Archipelago, and students design and work on independent research projects with faculty
mentorship. This 15 credit, fieldwork intensive program is great for sophomores through seniors.


“I cannot emphasize enough how awesome Friday Harbor is. Being surrounded by students with similar
interests really allowed me to come into my own. Nobody made fun of you for talking about science and
fish all day, and it was actually encouraged! ”

–Jessica Hale, FHL marine biology student
