MSRC celebrated its 37th anniversary with a homecoming- a homecoming that welcomed back alumni from as far away as California, Texas and Florida for two days of festivities. It was also a homecoming for the weekend’s honored guest, Dr. Jerry Schubel - the man whose 20 years of leadership was instrumental in creating the MSRC we know today. Dr. Schubel served as Dean and Director of MSRC from 1974 to 1994 overseeing much of the growth that took MSRC from a small, nascent program to one of the world’s leading academic institutions in the marine and atmospheric sciences. He now serves as CEO of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA.
