Peggy Deichstetter earns master's degree from Miami University through Project Dragonfly

2017 Jan 19

West Chicago, Ill., resident Peggy Deichstetter has earned a Master of Arts (MA) degree from Miami University through Project Dragonfly's Global Field Program (GFP).

Since being accepted to the GFP master's degree in 2013, Deichstetter has explored conservation and education in Baja, Australia and Costa Rica, while also conducting projects that have made a difference in the West Chicago area. Deichstetter works as a microbiology professor at DeVry University.

The global courses, which count toward the GFP master's or can be taken for stand-alone graduate credit, are designed for educators and other professionals from all disciplines and settings interested in making a difference in human and ecological communities. Because the degree occurs overseas and in web-based learning communities, applicants can be located anywhere in the United States or abroad.

Project Dragonfly reaches millions of people each year through inquiry-driven learning media, public exhibits and graduate programs worldwide. 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.

The GFP is accepting applications for the 2017 cohort until Jan. 28, 2017, at http://GFP.MiamiOH.edu.
