Bonnie Swarbrick of Tucson, Ariz., will present "Range Expansion of Mexican Ducks and Northern Mallards in Arizona" at the 14th Annual World Community Conference at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden on Dec. 16, 2017.

Sponsored by the zoo and Miami University's Project Dragonfly, the conference will showcase the work of Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP), Earth Expeditions (EE) and Global Field Program (GFP) graduate students who have conducted inquiry projects in communities across the U.S. and at key conservation sites around the world.

As a student in the GFP master's degree, Swarbrick has explored conservation and education in Baja, Namibia and Amazon, while also conducting projects that have made a difference in the Tucson area. In mid-December 2017, Swarbrick is expected to conclude her master's course of study with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Biology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly.

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.
