On a recent beautiful late summer day at The Ohio State University, students led by instructors Dr. Lauren Pintor and Krystal Pocock had the opportunity to learn first-hand about aquatic macroinvertebrates and sample for them. SENR caught up with Dr. Pintor and Ms. Pocock to find out more about what students discovered and how these in-field class experiences make a difference.

Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab have released the first two in a series of virtual field trip experiences for students in grades 4-12. Information is available at go.osu.edu/SLvirtual, along with links to purchase lesson sets as they become available. Individual lessons are priced at $50.
Each field trip includes a video, teacher materials, student worksheets and presentation slides, making it easy to integrate the materials into the classroom. Teachers can also schedule a Chat With A Biologist session after they complete the field trip, giving their students the chance to meet real-life working scientists who study the topics covered in the lesson.

A note on SENR's Current Enrollment and History
An Excerpt from the October SENR Director's Note (from Dr. Sharp) to alumni and friends.
The University has just released the official Autumn 2021 enrollment counts. Our School has a record 1,001 total students on the Columbus campus. This includes 873 undergraduate and 128 graduate students. In our 53-year history, enrollments have cycled up and down, although steadily and consistently growing over the last 10 years. Until 2017, the School’s highest enrollment was in 1977, when we served 802 students (716 undergrads and 86 graduate students). But total enrollment dipped to 287 students in 1988, bounced back up to nearly 600 by 1995, but then dipped back closer to 300 by 2000. Since 2010, our enrollments have nearly doubled from just over 500 students to the 1001 we serve today. Interest in our program has been very strong among prospective students so far this year, so I anticipate we might still experience some growth in the future. Some of our growth is the result of growing society wide interest and concern for the environment, but some of it is due to the great work of our alumni and the positive word of mouth you share regarding our School. Thank you.
