Getting a feel for ocean life

Jeanette Brunner (standing), coordinator of education programs at The Aquarium of Niagara, watches as (from left) Melinna Burgess, Linda Cash, Missy Lane and Shaquila Feaster take a closer look at some ocean creatures via the aquarium's "Touch Tank." The girls were participating in "Expanding Your Horizons," a program designed to boost the low representation of women in science and technology by focusing on girls in middle school. The program was held on Saturday in Kimball Tower, South Campus.
