Biographical / Historical

Robert "Bob" Sluss served as a natural history and marine ecology professor at The Evergreen State College beginning in 1970 and ending in 1991, when he retired. Sluss taught classes largely on the subject of ecology and field biology, as well as scientific research while seafaring. He also took on administrative tasks for the faculty advising programs and environmental advisory committee in the late 1970s, wrote personal papers on insect history and biology, and was one of the original faculty involved in the Marine Studies program and the use of Evergreen's boat, the Seawulff, immediately after construction.
