In last week’s update, Rosenstiel School undegrad Sarah Miller shared some breath taking views from her Spring Semester UGalapagos experience.

This week is all about the experience, specifically the group overseeing the trip, the Isabela Oceanographic Institute (IOI). IOI is the academic home for the students semester-long stay, providing classroom and laboratory facilities. IOI is a non-profit center for education and research that promotes environmental awareness and sustainable ecotourism.
