Costa Mesa, Calif., resident Chris Corpus, a new master's student in the Global Field Program (GFP) from Miami University's Project Dragonfly, will travel to Belize in July 2017. Corpus will study coral reefs, manatees, howler monkeys, jaguars and other wildlife while learning the methods communities are using to sustain them.

Corpus is a filmmaker and works as a volunteer services coordinator at Aquarium of the Pacific.

Since the program began 13 years ago, Project Dragonfly's Earth Expeditions graduate courses have engaged more than 2,000 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.
