Student Presentation Topics

Dear BCSE Participants,

Student presentation topics are assigned as follows:

Adam Aldous and Michael West
- Marine Mammals and Birds
Kristin Carroll and Elisabeth Dee - Coastal BC Folklore and First Nations' Mythology
Spencer Cartwright and Jonah Moreland - The Fishing Industry
Samantha Gould and Lauren Kimball - Fish Farms
Rebecca Poelman and Hope Owens - Spotted Owls and Forest Management in the PNW
Rod Semnani and Jenny Nilsen - Ethnobotany and PNW First Nations' culture
Grant Smaellie and Luke MacFarlane - On-course data collection and presentation

These topics were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Please don't hesitate to contact Mr. Cole, Mr. Harris or Dr. Malatesta for suggestions on how best to approach your topic.

In addition, please talk to Mr. Cole about the burgee contest if you are interested in submitting a design. To date, no student has approached me, which means I will be left with creating the design - bad news, as anyone who has witnessed my stellar art skills in a class knows full well. Thank you, Jonah!

Cheers,

Mr. Cole
