Come join us and unlock the treasures of the deep at an open house taking place under and around Altum, the blue whale whose skeleton hangs in Memorial University’s Core Science Facility (CSF). Altum (pronounced al-tum) is Latin for “deep,” and comes from Memorial’s motto: provehito in altum, which means “launch forth into the deep.” The whale represents the diverse ocean-related expertise that swims across our campuses.
On Saturday, Oct. 4 from 9:30 am – 4 pm, visitors are invited to drop by to enjoy a series of interactive learning exhibitions and displays from Memorial University’s campuses.
