Lila Cantrell (‘24) visited Mexico this past winter break on the Great Migrations study abroad trip. Starting in Mexico City, she was able to see the ruins of Teotihuacan. Then she headed to the mountains to see thousands of butterflies on their migration destination to the warm forested reserves. Finally, she went to the coast and stopped at Puerto Vallarta to whale watch and learn more about the coastal ecosystem. Her trip was ecosystem oriented and encouraged her to minor in wildlife science and marine science.

Last week, a group of our scholars traveled to Puerto Rico for our new ECO Spring Break Service Trip! Our students gave back to the community through several service projects including maintenance and community center restoration in El Yunque National Forest, housing reconstruction of homes affected by Hurricane Maria, and work around Finca Remedio, an eco farm. In their free time, they enjoyed bioluminescent kayaking, exploring San Juan, swimming in rivers, and more!
