Why Hopkins?

With an average of 5-10 students in your classes (vs. 200 - 250 on campus), learning at Hopkins is intense, interactive, and fun. 

At Hopkins, our backyard (or should we say ocean) is your lab.  And that's where most of the learning happens. Discover concepts in the classroom. Walk outside and see them in action.

Our comprehensive course offerings don't just stimulate your curiosity, they fit into your major and meet many honors and ways of thinking/ways of doing requirements.

Please reach out to her with any questions about the SEA program or what it’s like to spend a summer interning in Monterey via SUNet sign-in: https://profiles.stanford.edu/

Lilah McCormick is a junior at Stanford studying marine biology, and is originally from Westport, CT. She developed her love for the ocean early on through scuba diving, surfing, and being out on the water. At Stanford, she’s cemented her interest in marine science and conservation through classes in marine biology, wonderful research opportunities and interactions with Stanford Hopkins faculty, and study abroad experiences with Stanford@SEA and BOSP Australia. She is particularly interested in marine physiology and ecology, and hopes to conduct research that directly influences conservation policy throughout her career.
