2015 Apr 6

Everett, Wash. resident Meghan Maves-Watson was awarded the Summer Credit Workshop Study Abroad Scholarship from Miami University's Global Initiatives office to help fund travel on a summer 2015 Earth Expeditions course. Maves-Watson, a science teacher at Shorewood High School and a Miami master's student in the Advanced Inquiry Program, will travel to Namibia in summer 2015 to study ongoing research projects such as radio tracking, cheetah conservation, and ecosystem management as well as the design of school and community programs.

Since the program began 10 years ago, Earth Expeditions graduate courses from Miami University's Project Dragonfly have engaged more than 1,700 people in firsthand educational and scientific research at key conservation field sites in Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas.

Miami's Global Initiatives office supports the university's global teaching, outreach and research missions. Global Initiatives supports and encourages Miami's commitment to dynamic and comprehensive internationalization, resulting in a diverse cultural and global learning experience for students.
