Robert Rothman has built a bridge from RIT to the Galapagos Islands. Rothman, professor of biology, first visited the islands in 1989. He has returned 19 times to the Pacific ar chipelago 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, leading a total of about 200 RIT students, parents, faculty, alumni and friends to the islands where Charles Darwin began to develop his theory of natural selection.
