What Made You Choose HPU: The Master of Marine Science program drew me to HPU, but ultimately I decided to come because my thesis advisor, Dr. Brenden Holland, gave me a chance and took me on as a student with not a lot of technical research experience. I am extremely grateful that he did, and I am happy to be at HPU under his tutelage.
