🎓Fall 25 Graduate Spotlight: Meet the HBCU Diver and band member from NC A&T, traveling to Fiji  for a Coral Reef Ecology & Marine Conservation Program - Myles Saunders yoboimyles 

Read more of his story below:👇🏾 

“Before I even get into anything… Im so excited to announce this May, I’ll be traveling to FIJI 🇫🇯🌊 for a Coral Reef Ecology & Marine Conservation Program — and my heart is honestly full with such excitement and gratitude.

I’ll be out there working on coral reef protection, doing research on dolphins, whales, and other marine species, earning the rest of my certifications, and getting the hands-on experience I need to take my career to the next level. AND on top of that, I get the chance to work with the beautiful local communities in Dawasamu, Fiji.
You can follow my journey as I prepare, train, and get ready for this program at:
🌊 divewithmyles — diving content, progress updates, and marine life coming soon.

Ever since I was a kid, I was scared but fascinated by marine life. I didn’t know it then, but God was preparing me for this exact path. That little boy who hesitated to touch a fish is now diving into an another world of purpose. Today I’m blessed to have certifications and two years of internship experience with Inland Divers of High Point, While a full time student and athlete. Thank you Ronnie Brewer for believing in me, mentoring me, and pushing me to grow. Now that you are retired after 30 years of teaching, thank you.
