Great Gorilla Tour

We love seeing our alumni in the Four-State area, but we want to engage with as many alumni as we can - which is why we hit the road to see Gorillas across the country! On our most recent Great Gorilla Tour, we visited 8 cities across 5 states in 15 days, covering 2,915 miles. We hope to see you soon!
