UDSON students in the BVI have an unforgettable visit to Necker Island, where our students had the honor of meeting Sir Richard Branson—for the third year in a row he has made time in his schedule to connect with our students. From touring the island and learning about sustainable power through wind and solar, to spending time with endangered lemurs, tortoises, kangaroos, pink flamingos, and scarlet ibises, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
