2015 Jun 18

In mid-May 2015, Durham, N.C., resident Sophie Williams graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Biology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

Since joining the master's program in 2012, Williams has explored conservation and education in Guyana, while also conducting projects that have made a difference in the Durham area.

The Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP), a graduate degree focused on inquiry-driven learning and social change, combines on-site coursework at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden with work in Dragonfly's web-based learning communities.

Project Dragonfly reaches millions of people each year through inquiry-driven learning media, public exhibits and graduate programs worldwide. Since 2004 Dragonfly and its international partner institutions have engaged more than 1,850 people in firsthand education and conservation research in communities and zoos throughout the country and at critical field sites in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas. 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.
