SEA Seminar Alumni “ When people asked me how my summer went, I was speechless. The whole experience was out of this world, from the great friends I made, to what I learned, to the overwhelming emotion I felt from being on the water.” - Olivia Fortunato, 2008 Seminar Student “SEA was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It not only gives high school students an insight into college life, but prepares them for a journey of self-discovery and long-lasting friendships.” - Pablo Silva, 2008 Seminar Student “I met so many amazing people who encouraged me to seek my own challenge, and who inspired me. I learned about myself and who I want to be. It was a life-changing experience that gave me skills that will serve me throughout life and memories that will last forever.” - Paula Mohlenkamp, 2008 Seminar Student
