SSU Dept. of Marine & Environmental Sciences

We are in need of volunteers on Feb 6, especially in the morning. The entire event is virtual so you don't need to be in Savannah to help us out. Roles needing to be filled - Room leader, moderator, science judge, scorekeeper and timekeeper.

The good old days of MLK Day and Homecoming parades. Fingers crossed for next fall and winter. Photo stolen from Tara Cox.

In August of 1960, a group of Beach High and Savannah State students, led by Morehouse College student Amos C. Brown piled into cars in Savannah and set out on ...a mission to wade in the water in an effort to desegregate Savannah Beach, now known as Tybee. Many were arrested and charged with disrobing in public and convicted of disorderly conduct. It’d take many more wade-ins before we could access the beach as we wanted #BHM See more
