June 22 was departure day for new MIT/WHOI Joint Program students making their welcome cruise—which is actually a crash course in oceanographic sampling 101 and seamanship. All incoming students in the graduate program are encouraged to participate in the expedition, which is organized in conjunction with the Sea Education Association on their ship, the Corwith Cramer. Students learn a little bit about working at sea (many of them making their first ocean voyage) and a lot about their classroom compatriots for the next few years.
