The
Five College Coastal and Marine Sciences Certificate
The Five College Coastal and Marine Sciences
Program is now offering the Certificate in Coastal and Marine Sciences.
The certificate program enables students to select from a variety
of courses in marine sciences to create a concentration of study.
These courses include coastal and marine ecology/geology, resource
management and public policy, oceanography, and coastal engineering.
Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire colleges and the University
of Massachusetts currently award certificates. Under the guidance
of faculty advisers on each campus, students choose six courses
available within the five campuses and in academic off-campus
programs (e.g., Sea Education Association or the School for Field
Studies). Students are required to participate in intensive field
courses or similar experiences to obtain competence in field
studies. Finally, students participate in a “capstone” independent,
marine-related research project that will count toward the certificate.

Certificate Program, go to www.fivecolleges.edu/sites/marine

Student Attendance at
Faculty Meetings
During the academic year, the faculty holds regular meetings,
usually on the first Wednesday of each month at 4 pm. Twenty
places are reserved for students: six for officers of the Student
Government Association and members of the Mount
Holyoke News staff, and the remaining 14 for any students wishing to attend.
Should more than 14 students wish to attend, places are given
to the first 14 who sign up with the associate dean of the faculty
by noon on the day of the meeting. Students attend faculty meetings
without voice or vote. The agenda of each faculty meeting allows
time, usually at the beginning of the meeting, for brief student
remarks. Students wishing to speak to the faculty should notify
the associate dean of the faculty as far in advance of the meeting
as possible. The faculty reserves the right to declare, by appropriate
procedure, any meeting or portion of the meeting closed to all
but the teaching faculty.
