Guided group tours of the University of Delaware's Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes, Delaware, are available year-round. The tours, led by knowledgeable volunteers from the community, are an excellent introduction to current research in marine science and the marine scientist's profession.
Guided tours of the Hugh R. Sharp campus are available year-round.
Tours are flexible and may be arranged to meet each group's special needs or interests. The program typically includes a 30-minute introductory video highlighting the work of many of the college's faculty, followed by a one-hour walking tour of the college's facilities. (Large groups will be split into smaller ones for the walking tour.)
From September through May, these free tours may be scheduled for groups of five or more people, junior-high age or older, Monday through Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Requests should be made at least a week in advance. The docent program director can also recommend other sites or programs in the area that offer further opportunities for learning about the marine environment.
