Recent graduate Danielle Becker\u2019s first coral reef experience was a theme park attraction on a family vacation to Florida.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]\u201cOnce I was under the water, I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life,\u201d said Danielle, a Chicago native and 2016 Eckerd College marine science graduate. \u201cWhen it was time to look up colleges, I started researching schools with Marine Science programs and decided on Eckerd.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”2201″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][vc_column_text]“Danielle Becker ’16 will be studying coral reproductivity in Bermuda this summer.”<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]This summer, she is researching coral reproductivity in Bermuda as the Eckerd College Galbraith\u2013Wardman Fellow<\/a> at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences<\/a>. The fellowship includes a 10-week internship, travel expenses to Bermuda and a $2,000 stipend\u2014on top of the chance to expand her undergraduate research experience.<\/p>\n

All Eckerd science students know that research starts as soon as they arrive on campus.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c[The College] just made the perfect place to study. With the labs, you get to go out onto a boat, and in the small classrooms you get your questions heard and answered,\u201d Danielle said. \u201cAnd the location with the beach and the water lab right within your reach, it\u2019s just perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danielle said Eckerd\u2019s supportive professors and many opportunities to perform hands-on research as an undergrad helped prepare her for the application to be the Galbraith\u2013Wardman Fellow.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mentor, [Marine Science Professor Dr. William] Szelistowski<\/a>, brought the fellowship to my attention, and he was always sending out a lot of job and internship opportunities,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

During her time at Eckerd, Danielle also played for, and even served one year as captain of, the Women\u2019s Rugby<\/a> team while balancing her academic work and caring for her pet bearded dragon, Mushu.<\/p>\n

After the fellowship, Danielle plans to move to Utah and work toward graduate school, where she can continue studying the coral reefs that filled her with wonder as a child.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a decline in these environments, and researching coral conservation is a passion of mine. These beautiful environments aren\u2019t gone,\u201d Danielle said. \u201cThis is a great start to what I want to do with the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
