Nik Tyack’11 and Eleanor Caves’11 graduated this past spring. Nik wrote his senior thesis on seabirds around Santa Barbara Island and Eleanor wrote hers on the diving behavior of Cassin’s auklets breeding on the Farallon Islands. They have left the west coast islands and are both in Massachusetts for the summer. Eleanor is studying whales at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and Nik is studying herring at NOAA.
