We’re so excited to share that our manager, Haley, recently had a conservation blog officially published by the Cleveland Zoological Society as part of her master’s program!
This is such an amazing accomplishment, and we’re incredibly proud of all the hard work and dedication that went into it. Congratulations, Haley — we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!
In affiliation with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Miami University's Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) combines online coursework with hands-on, field-based learning at the Zoo. This program empowers working professionals to pursue a Master of Arts (MA) in Biology or a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Biological Sciences. The Cleveland Zoological Society helps make impactful programs like this possible by providing unrestricted funds to the Zoo’s Education & Engagement division each year.
Guest blogger Haley Fletcher is a current AIP student sharing insights from her thesis for the program, which looks at the illegal wildlife trade and what the Zoo is doing to address it. The Zoo Society supports this critical work by securing $500,000 in funding for the Zoo’s wildlife conservation efforts each year.
