IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Hear alumni of The Diversity Project discuss their experience in the program.
In 2013, after leaving the warm waters of Indonesia, we explored the kelp forests of Catalina Island.

2019, TDP took a break!
2020, Doh! COVID!
2021 marked the return of TDP after two sad years of not running the program. It was great to be back in Moorea and we managed to get through the ENTIRE summer without a single case of COVID!

2022. Once again, we dodged COVID and trained an amazing group of 11 students. In addition to our time in Moorea, we started a new event, The Diversity Project Research and Networking Symposium, uniting alumni of The Diversity Project across more than 15 years!

2023 saw our largest TDP cohort to date, 13!! We had an amazing summer, and did a wide diversity of really great projects. We also returned to The California Science Center for diving in their giant kelp exhibit.
