A local resident has been selected to participate in summer 2013 global graduate studies on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Beginning in late July, Goshen Public Library staff member Jared Collins of Goshen (46526), will study the extinction of Hawaiian species and what it takes to save them in the wild on the Big Island of Hawai'i. More information about Collins's course is located at http://earthexpeditions.muohio.edu/hawaii.

The graduate courses from Miami University's Project Dragonfly are based on Earth Expeditions, which has engaged more than 1,400 people since 2004 in firsthand educational and scientific research at critical conservation field sites in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas.
