It was April first, and I saw the email come in,\u201d Garrett recalls. \u201cI opened it, read the first few lines, and froze. I was ecstatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both sophomores had learned more about the scholarship through peers and faculty mentorship, and they credit their first-year experiences with preparing them for the rigorous application process.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince coming to Eckerd, one of the most impactful parts of my experience has been being a part of EC-SAR,\u201d Garrett says. \u201cBeing a part of a team that responds to real emergencies has pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to stay calm under pressure. It\u2019s helped me learn how to think clearly in high-stress situations and trust myself to act, no matter what challenges I\u2019m facing.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Ella started a study abroad program<\/a> in April with the Sea Education Association, studying copepods aboard a ship sailing from New Zealand to French Polynesia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am interested in larger marine mammals. Overall, I hope to incorporate policy, education, hands-on science research, and advocacy in all of the work that I do,\u201d Ella explains.<\/p>\n

Garrett doesn\u2019t have a dream placement for his NOAA Internship, but his interests lie in fisheries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been drawn to the marine sciences, but what has always captivated me most are invertebrates\u2014specifically cnidarians such as corals and jellyfish,\u201d Garrett says. \u201cThere is something incredible about seeing these seemingly simple organisms play such a major role in the marine ecosystem. Over time, I have become interested in the idea that some of these species could help us find biological solutions to environmental problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon, both students will attend a program orientation before beginning their careers as Eckerd\u2019s newest Hollings Scholars.\u00a0\u201cI am so grateful,\u201d Ella says, \u201cfor the people, and experiences, who have led me to this opportunity.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
