My Nonprofit Reviews

I am an alumnus of Ceiba’s Teoioical Conservation Semester and this semester absolutely changed my life for the better in so many ways. Never had I been so intellectually stimulated and so interested in what I was learning. Cath and Joe are exceptional professors with an unparalleled ability to teach effectively. This program teaches terrestrial and marine ecology from the field in some of the most biodiverse places on the planet. To say I recommend this program or this organization is a massive understatement.

I was a student with Ceiba's Tropical Conservation Semester for the spring of 2015. It was with out a doubt the best 4.5 months of my life. I met life long friends and had a truly unique experience. I learned so much from the two most knowledgeable and caring professors I've ever had. Whether I was navigating the streets of Quito, hiking through the cloud forest, bird watching from the crown of a 45 m tall ceiba tree, swimming with caiman in the Tiputini river, swimming with sea turtles and sharks in the Galápagos Islands, or just relaxing on the beach, I was always aware that Ceiba had thrown me into the adventure of a lifetime. That list seems pretty good but it doesn't come close to capturing all the experiences I had in my semester in Ecuador. This trip changed my life. Do yourself a favor and just go.
