We’re celebrating conquering classes this semester by swimmin’ with the fishes at Shaw’s Cove. Come on out for a chill day of snorkeling around with colorful fish, sea urchins and starfish. We will be leaving campus at 9am and heading toward Laguna Beach for snorkeling, a nice lunch by the water and fun-fact sharing. The day is your oyster, but we will be back late afternoon so you can enjoy a free Saturday evening before finals!
