Students visited the Bodega Marine Laboratory and Preserve to learn about the impact of Marine Protected Areas on threats to ocean organisms. The day started with an introduction from TRiO alumni and an overview of the mission of the laboratory. Alumni shared their undergraduate experiences and current graduate research, and encouraged students to follow their passions though higher education.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/skylinecollege.edu\/skylineshines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/TrioSust-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-235 aligncenter\" alt=\"Trio Students\" src=\"http:\/\/skylinecollege.edu\/skylineshines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/TrioSust-1-300x223.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-236\" alt=\"Trio Students\" src=\"http:\/\/skylinecollege.edu\/skylineshines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/TrioSust-2-300x223.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Students toured research laboratories with ongoing experiments.
