You're Invited to Attend the Marine Lab Open House, May 20

With the collaboration of students and faculty of SDSU, the Marine Ecology and Biology Student Association (MEBSA) is organizing an Open House on Sunday, May 20.

The event will take place at the Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory (CMIL). The Open House will showcase current research at SDSU, the facilities at CMIL, and educate the public about marine ecology and conservation.

MEBSA invites all students, faculty and staff at SDSU to attend the CMIL Open House. This is the first time CMIL has opened its doors to the public and is a rare opportunity to experience the facilities, research and activities at CMIL.

Activities will include touch tanks, games, SCUBA gear demonstrations, lab tours, a marine ecology puppet show, and research talks. The open house will conclude with a fundraising raffle including prizes of donations from community vendors such as gift certificates, snorkel gear, and museum tickets.
