The Cape May Point Science Center is pleased to announce Alicia Calkins as its new Operations Manager. Born and raised in Cape May, Alicia brings a deep connection to the local environment, a passion for conservation, and extensive experience in environmental education and sustainability.

Alicia’s upbringing in Cape May fostered her love for the natural world, inspired by family camping trips, fishing, gardening, and exploring National Parks. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Conservation and Ecology from Lipscomb University in Tennessee and later a Master of Science in Sustainability with a focus on Watershed Management. Alicia has worked with organizations like AmeriCorps, Save Barnegat Bay, and The Nature Conservancy, where she contributed to water quality research, habitat preservation, and environmental education.

The Science Center as it stands today, formerly St. Mary’s by the Sea, is a hub of scientific research.

“Joining the team at the Cape May Point Science Center is such an exciting opportunity,” Alicia shared. “I’m looking forward to learning more about our local history, supporting environmental research, and connecting the community with Cape May’s unique biodiversity and habitats. I encourage everyone to visit the Cape May Point Science Center and explore our programs and events!”

As Operations Manager, Alicia will oversee daily museum operations, manage staff and volunteers, coordinate events and exhibits, and support educational and fundraising efforts. She will also play a vital role in advancing the CMPSC’s mission to inspire environmental stewardship and promote scientific research.

The Cape May Point Science Center is excited to welcome Alicia to the team and looks forward to the energy, knowledge, and dedication she brings to this role.
