Students immerse themselves in biodiversity, conservation and sustainability experiences while studying in Peru.
For Dr. Ursula Valdez, Peru holds a special place in her heart as not only her home country but also as a point of fascination for her research as a tropical ecologist. Valdez is a lecturer in the University of Washington Bothell’s School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences and has shared her passion for Peru with her students, even leading study abroad experiences for them to immerse themselves in the country’s natural wonders right alongside her.
