No Summer Vacation For This Grad
College Junior Continues to Explore

Written by: Tony Quattrochi, Alumni Relations
Sam Daughenbaugh
has had marine biology on his mind since he can remember. The 2016 St. Joseph High School graduate soaks up knowledge on the subject like an ocean sponge absorbs food particles.
“Although I had never visited any marine environments until my sophomore year of high school, I was always excited to learn how important and mysterious the ocean is. After spending a week in the Bahamas living on a research vessel with a team from the Shedd Aquarium a few years ago, I knew that pursuing a career in marine science would make me a very happy person.”
As an environmental biology major at DePauw University, Sam devoted this past summer doing research for a Ph.D. student at Indiana University.
