Where We Work
The SEAS Islands Alliance operates in Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
Guam
The Guam hub has strengths in extension and outreach and near-peer, hierarchical mentoring. It works with middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. This hub includes Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rico hub has demonstrated success in training early undergraduate students in the geosciences and the incorporation of nontraditional metrics for student success. It works with middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students.
U.S. Virgin Islands
The U.S. Virgin Islands hub provides expertise in creating mutually-reinforcing relationships with community partners across elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as undergraduate, graduate, and workforce programs.
