Targett will discuss the new structure and programs of the college, formerly the College of Marine and Earth Studies, and will welcome alumni from departments in the new alignment, such as the Department of Geography, including environmental science.

She also will highlight the University's leading-edge research and educational programs on offshore wind power, climate change on the tundra, global shipping, ocean acoustics, and many other fields.

Targett has been a member of the University of Delaware faculty since 1984.

In 2006, she became dean of the College of Marine Studies, which, with the addition of the Department of Geology, became the College of Marine and Earth Studies (CMES) that same year.

Effective July 1, 2009, CMES became the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEOE), which Targett oversees.

Targett discussed CEOE in a question and answer session earlier this year.

Cost of the Oct. 7 event is $25. For details, see the Web page.
