Anne McDonough earns master's degree from Miami University through Project Dragonfly

2017 Jun 19

Providence, R.I., resident Anne McDonough has earned a Master of Arts degree in Biology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly's Global Field Program (GFP).

Since being accepted to the GFP master's degree in 2014, McDonough has explored conservation and education in Belize, Hawai'i and Namibia, while also conducting projects that have made a difference in the Providence area. McDonough is an avian care specialist for the "Birds from Down Under" exhibit at Roger Williams Park Zoo.

The global courses, which count toward the GFP master's or can be taken for stand-alone graduate credit, are designed for educators and other professionals from all disciplines and settings interested in making a difference in human and ecological communities. Because the degree occurs overseas and in web-based learning communities, applicants can be located anywhere in the United States or abroad.

Project Dragonfly reaches millions of people each year through inquiry-driven learning media, public exhibits and graduate programs worldwide. Dragonfly is based in the department of biology at Miami University, a state university in Oxford, Ohio. Miami was established in 1809 and is listed as one of the eight original Public Ivies.
