Dear MARMAM community, The Alaska Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy (AKSMM) will be hosting a virtual silent auction fundraiser January 26 - 31, 2024. We have received some wonderful donations from the community, including art, experiences, gift baskets, and more! 100% of proceeds fund our organization’s grants in support of research and conference participation for Alaskan marine mammal student researchers. For those in attendance, auction prizes will be available for pickup at the Alaska Marine Science Symposium in Anchorage on February 1; other prizes will be shipped or delivered as needed. You can find our auction at the following link: https://ascsm.betterworld.org/auctions/aksmm-virtual-auction-2024 For questions, please email smm.alaskastudentchapter@gmail.com. Sincerely, The AKSMM Board -- Chloe Kotik, M.Sci 617 840 8184
