Mason, Ohio, resident Lauren Asquith to study in Borneo

2015 May 29

Mason, Ohio, resident Lauren Asquith, a master's student in the Global Field Program from Miami University's Project Dragonfly, will travel to Borneo in summer 2015. Asquith will study Borneo’s primate denizens, including the orangutan, and develop new ways to engage communities worldwide in primate conservation.

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.
