The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science is proud to announce that the Annual Student Auction is back again for 2019! Join us on Friday April 5 at WetLab to enjoy a cold drink and live music, courtesy of The Iguanas, while you peruse our collection of donated items available for purchase in both silent and live auctions. The first 48 guests to spend $50 will receive a FREE 75th Anniversary pint glass!

Why should I buy donated items?

All proceeds generated from the auction go towards the Student Travel Fund (STF), which is managed by the RSMAS Marine Science Graduate Student Organization (MSGSO). STF enriches the student experience at RSMAS by enabling graduate students to travel to conferences and internships. Sharing our groundbreaking research at scientific conferences enhances UM's reputation of strong academic performance throughout the global scientific community while providing students with invaluable networking opportunities.
