Suzanne Hall making a difference in human and ecological communities

2015 Mar 20

San Diego, Calif. resident Suzanne Hall, a graduate student in the Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) from Miami University's Project Dragonfly and San Diego Zoo Global, has been awarded a Community Engagement badge from the university for making a difference in human and ecological communities. As part of the AIP, students like Hall apply the tools of conservation science and advance the tenets central to the master's degree: inquiry, community and voice.

Through her Conservation Science & Community course project entitled "Mapping Human Impact Factors for La Jolla Tide Pools," Hall assessed major accessible tide pools in La Jolla, California, with respect to visitor impacts. Hall is a research coordinator at San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research.

Project Dragonfly offers the Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) master's degree in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, New York, Phoenix, San Diego and Seattle. The community-based AIP degree is co-delivered with Miami's Dragonfly and premier learning institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). Courses take place in web-based learning communities and on-site at zoos in those locations. To learn more about the AIP, visit http://aip.miamioh.edu/.
