Explore careers in biological science, environmental education, and more!
Are you wanting to learn more about career paths and want to be able to talk to someone in the field? WAVE’s Career Exploration Panel features professionals in the fields of biological science, environmental education, animal care, veterinary science, and diving. Panelists will discuss how they got into their career, what kind of education or certifications they have, and what a day in the life of their job looks like. Participants will also be able to ask the panelists questions about their work and field of study.
WAVE Foundation’s first Career Exploration Panel will be held on Saturday, November 1st, 2025, 10am-11:30am.
LOCATION CHANGE: The career panel will now be held in the Riverside Room inside of Newport Aquarium. The entrance to the Riverside Room is located on the north side of the Newport Aquarium (facing the Ohio River) near Taylor Southgate Bridge.
