The Michigan Sea Grant College Program will undergo a program site visit and program review by a federally appointed Site Review Team October 28-29, 2014. Congress has mandated that Sea Grant College programs be regularly reviewed.

The National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) will review Sea Grant programs on three criteria:

  1. Program Management and Organization — leadership, organization, program team approach and support.
  2. Stakeholder Engagement — relevance, advisory services and relationships.
  3. Collaborative Network Activities — coordinated planning and cooperative work with other Sea Grant programs and other local, state and federal agencies and organizations.
