Kingsley earns master’s degree from Miami University
Rachel Kingsley of Volcano earned a master of arts degree in zoology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly’s Global Field Program.
Since being accepted to the GFP master’s degree in 2013, Kingsley has explored conservation and education in Belize, Guyana and Borneo while also conducting projects that made a difference in the Volcano area. Kingsley works as a research associate at San Diego Zoo/Keauhou Bird Conservation Center.
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.
Project Dragonfly is based in the department of biology at Miami University, a state university in Oxford, Ohio.
The GFP is accepting applications for the 2016 cohort until Jan. 28 at http://GFP.MiamiOH.edu.
