Who We Are

The first Prescott College classes arrived in the Eastern Midriff Island Region of the Gulf of California in 1969, bringing with them a commitment to experiential education, environmental sustainability and social justice. Established in 1991, the Prescott College Kino Bay Center for Cultural and Ecological Studies provides training and support for students, scientists, educators and community members, and builds platforms for collaborations between different cultures and institutions to co-create long-term conservation solutions based on science, local knowledge and education.
