“Rainforest Immersion & Conservation Action” (RICA) program - open to all - June 24 - August 1, 2008

Pure life, or “Pura Vida” as they say in Costa Rica — come experience this approach to life and the environment. Costa Rica is internationally known for its leadership in ecological conservation, its commitment to the environment, its beautiful beaches and its rich, high diversity forests.

WWU’s Huxley College of the Environment invites you to study abroad in Costa Rica during a six-week “Rainforest Immersion & Conservation Action” program. Students earn ten credits for the three-course program, which includes field research experience, community service work, ecotourism excursions and more.

This program, limited to 25 participants, is open to students, faculty, alumni and other interested community members and professionals. Contact Dr. Troy Abel to learn more about this exciting opportunity.   An information meeting will be announced at a later date.

Program Date: June 24-August 1, 2008
