Alumni Visit the Galápagos Islands

A group of ten Antioch alumni recently embarked on a journey to the Galápagos Islands, aiming to immerse themselves in a week of exploration, hands-on learning, and reconnection. These women, who affectionately refer to themselves as the “Butterfly Tribe,” are accomplished and creative educators who share a profound love for the natural world and a strong commitment to fostering ecological awareness and advocating for social change. Their friendship has endured for 25 years, bound by their shared experience as Environmental Studies students at Antioch’s New England campus.
