About Us
We’re a group of dedicated experiential educators who create and run expeditionary study abroad programs that hold the possibility of changing lives.
We are as diverse as the destinations we travel. We come from all different backgrounds – Captains, Marine Engineers, Marine Biologists, Oceanographers… Some of our team came to Sea|mester to study abroad in college and found their way back realizing that their life’s work was right here. Regardless of how we arrived or where we came from, we share a desire to reach, discover and evolve.
