Sailed through the science, now onward to new shores! Please join us in congratulating UC Davis Marine and Coastal Science major Jessica Bartolome! 🎓

A graphic showing a commencement photo of Jessica Bartolome paired with a quote that reads "From splashing in the waves to searching for tide pool creatures as a kid, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the ocean—so it’s no surprise I ended up studying marine sciences. I was excited to turn my love for the marine environment into something I could study and build a career around."
