Vembu Subramanian lived a life dedicated to uplifting others. While hired at SECOORA for his technical skill, Vembu’s true strength was his interpersonal skill, as reflected by his unofficial job title – Social Chairman.
In remembrance of our dear friend and colleague, and his collaborative spirit, SECOORA is establishing a scholarship award for the next generation of ocean experts.
Please help us reach our $50,000 goal. It will enable SECOORA to establish an annual scholarship of approximately $2,500 in perpetuity in Vembu’s honor.
