UW-Superior’s new floating classroom is (almost) set to sail toward its Great Lakes home

UW-Superior's new 65-foot vessel, the Sadie Ann, is poised to become a floating classroom that will serve both research and instructional purposes on the Great Lakes. This innovative approach aims to blend traditional learning with hands-on experiences in marine sciences, offering students unique opportunities to study in a dynamic environment. As the vessel prepares to set sail, it symbolizes a forward-thinking step in education, blending academic rigor with practical, real-world applications that can't be replicated onshore. This initiative is significant for enhancing the university's maritime research capabilities and providing students with an unparalleled educational experience.
