As a graduate student at George Mason University, Leila studied water-column microbes in the Chesapeake Bay and was looking into the development of hypoxia and anoxia in the Chesapeake Bay. Leila is now the Associate Director of the School of Ocean Science of Engineering at the University of Southern Mississippi, and her area of expertise is in Marine microbe ecology. Leila Hamdan was a graduate student at the time at George Mason University studying water column microbes and their Impact on oceans and coastal processes. The conference brought together the luminaries in coastal and estuary ecology and graduate students studying and researching in the same field. In 1998, The Alliance hosted an “Across the Generations Dialogue” conference at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. ![]()
