William ‘Bill’ Butcher ’87 has been a great friend to the College, particularly to the 91³ÉÈ˶ÌÊÓƵ Liberal Arts Immersion Program (WLAIP). He is a wonderful example of a true life-long learner—someone who never stops looking for his next adventure. When I first met Bill, he was doing adventure racing, running through deserts, and kayaking through jungle rivers. Then he moved to scuba diving and diving with sharks. While becoming a dive instructor, he started taking and studying underwater photography. He is someone who never rests and who seems most fulfilled by having a new topic of study, something to learn, and a new domain in which to excel.
Butcher’s work from his dive trips in and around Cuba have recently been featured at the Fabrica De Arte gallery and the National Photographic Museum and gallery in Havana, Cuba.
