Bon Voyage, Class Of '05

摘要

In September, 22 students of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography and Applied Ocean Science and Engineering gathered for commencement ceremonies in Woods Hole as part of the Institution's 75th anniversary celebration. Activities began with a daylong symposium on the oceans and education; later, Patricio Bernal, executive secretary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and assistant director-general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, delivered the commencement address. In all, 25 doctorate and nine master's degrees were awarded for the 2004-2005 academic year. Since the program began in 1968, the program has awarded 722 degrees. WHOI last hosted a Joint Program graduation in June 2000; the next is planned for 2010.
