Join Professor Jenny Duggan for informal chats about science careers while enjoying the trails at Fort Ord National Monument.  

  • Walks are at 1:00 PM on Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters.
  • All friends and leashed dogs are welcome!  
  • You'll know you have the right spot when you see a black dog with a huge, fuzzy tail- that's Benson.
  • Please send an email to jduggan@csumb.edu in advance so I'll know to look for you!
