UWF students immerse into the culture and history of Galapagos Islands during study abroad

More than two dozen University of West Florida students were recently given the opportunity to spend part of their summer participating in a high-impact study abroad class in the Galapagos Islands. From monitoring tortoises, to snorkeling with penguins and sea lions, and connecting with locals, UWF students immersed themselves in the history and culture of the islands. Located off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands are considered one of the world's best destinations for wildlife-viewing. Heather Stewart, an anthropology major, said the one-of-a-kind experience changed her perspective on life.
