Welcome to the Pod! A pod refers to a group of aquatic animals that live together, most notably the ORCA whale pod. Christopher Newport University's Office of Research and Creative Activity is commonly referred to as ORCA and the office's mascot is "Ollie the ORCA Whale". Students enter a research "pod" full of endless opportunities once they start their research journey, and this podcast will share all the wonderful projects, ideas, and more. This podcast series will also highlight all of ORCA's programs, initiatives, staff, and more. Visit the ORCA at www,cnu.edu/research
