Dr. Dwayne Williams will work with Kevin Chu to organize the workshops and will implement the recommendations of the workshop. He has just joined the Maritime Studies faculty as SEA.

He has been active in efforts to encourage minority students to enter the ocean sciences and has extensive contracts among science faculty in minority-serving institutions.


Dr. John Farrington will participate in the workshop and will provide advice on other persons to invite. He is the Dean of Education at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and will lead a discussion during the workshops on ways to help minority students taking the SEA program to continue on to do graduate work in oceanography.


Mr. Ralph Richardson will represent SEA's Board of Trustees. Mr. Richardson is a member of the SEA Corporation and is the Director of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. He is currently setting up a program in Bermuda that will put "at-risk" children onto a sailing vessel to teach about the oceans and to develop teamwork skills.
