The Marine Technology Society’s Student Section at MIT (13Seas) was honored with the Outstanding Student Section Award at the society’s annual Awards Luncheon September 16 during the OCEANS’08 MTS/IEEE Quebec City Conference in Canada. MTS is an international organization of marine scientists, technicians, educators and policy makers. This is the third year in a row the section has won the award.
The student section, through its website, newsletter and e-mail, keeps its members posted on events, highlights student research and offers students a tight community to further their success. This year the section coordinated several sessions with companies interested in hiring students. The section continues to increase undergraduate participation in events, and this year the leadership is dominated by undergraduates, including one freshman.
The Marine Technology Society is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit professional society. Incorporated in 1963, it provides the ocean community with forums for the exchange of information and ideas through its peer-reviewed MTS Journal, conferences, newsletter, website (www.mtsociety.org), technical interest groups and local section activities.
