Spotlight on Wendy Dow '03

Biology and Environmental Studies Double Major

A Gettysburg education has worked swimmingly for Wendy Dow as she pursues her passion for the sea and the creatures that live in it. Imagine for a moment that you are a young girl growing up on an island off the rocky coast of Maine. You are surrounded by the ocean, and it fascinates you. You wade in tidal pools. You make your mother stop the car so you can watch seals sunning on rock outcrops.  You know from your earliest years that you want a career that connects you to the sea and all its wonders. So when it comes time to choose a college, you quite logically choose...um... landlocked Gettysburg?
