Prof. Cruz will lead Ecuador/Galapagos trip in June

Nine students from UW-Green Bay and UW Oshkosh are heading to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands June 22 through July 5 for a study tour led by Prof. Marcello Cruz of the Urban and Regional Studies program. (This trip was not among those subject to change when concerns flared earlier this month about a potential flu epidemic.) Cruz says the students will tackle the impact of urbanization on ecologically sensitive areas along the Ecuadorean coastline and on the Galapagos Islands, as well as issues related to sprawl and urban development in Quito, Ecuador.
