2015 May 29

Furlong, Pa., resident Joseph Nappi, a master's student in the Advanced Inquiry Program from Miami University's Project Dragonfly and Wildlife Conservation Society/Bronx Zoo, will travel to India in summer 2015. Nappi will study the stunning ecological, cultural and spiritual landscapes of the Western Ghats, where the fates of people, wildlife and deities meet in sacred groves and forest temples.

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.
