Whale, Hello There!
My name is Kathy Sowers...
I am the new Program Assistant for C-IMAGE!
To everyone I've met so far - thank you for the warm welcome,
I feel as though I've been here for years.
My background consists of Administrative Support and Marketing.
As a native Floridian, the ocean has been a passion of mine for a long time.
To now work for C-IMAGE is an incredible opportunity because I'm applying my skills to a field I care about while simultaneously expanding my understanding of it.

FOLLOW US ON FLICKR!
C-IMAGE organized a workshop called "Ecosystem Impacts of Deepwater Horizon Event: Assembling the Record of Species and Community Change" and it was attended from July 23-25 by our team and our partner institutions.
Read more about the assignments, presentations, and information given during this workshop on
USF's College of Marine Science page!
