2015 May 29

Aurora, Colo., resident Michelle Douglass, a master's student in the Global Field Program from Miami University's Project Dragonfly, will travel to Mongolia in summer 2015. Douglass will study an incomparable grassland ecosystem, with a focus on the Pallas’ cat and Przewalski’s horse, and how to support participatory conservation media.

Since the program began 10 years ago, Project Dragonfly's Earth Expeditions graduate courses - on which the master's programs are based - have engaged more than 1,700 people in firsthand educational and scientific research at critical conservation field sites in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas. Dragonfly is located 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.
