2015 May 29

Port Coquitlam, Britsh Columbia, resident Elaine Lum, a master's student in the Global Field Program from Miami University's Project Dragonfly, will travel to Hawaii in summer 2015. Lum will study what it takes to save species in the wild and engage with local partners developing and testing site-specific methods of community engagement to sustain ecological and social health.

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.
