Annual NMEA Student Conference
Youth engaged in an activity at the 2018 Student Conference
The one-day NMEA Student Conference occurs during the annual NMEA Conference. NMEA student members have an opportunity to meet like-minded students and professionals in the marine education field to share ideas and collaborate on projects and connect to a world-wide network of professionals in the field. Student Conference participants engage in conference sessions and other professional development opportunities.
The Student Engagement Committee
The Student Engagement Committee helps coordinate the annual NMEA Student Conference, a one day event during the NMEA Annual Conference that provides an opportunity for middle, high school, and college students to connect with NMEA, take part in workshops and sessions on diverse topics in marine education, conservation, and science, and meet NMEA members and other students who can help further their interest in this field. The Committee also coordinates a variety of activities throughout the year to recruit NMEA student members and support their professional development through webinars and virtual training opportunities.
