Thanks to Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) AIP Advisors Susan Baron and Bob Coulter for hosting Dragonfly in October 2023. The weekend provided an opportunity for Karen Plucinski, Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) Assistant Director and instructor, to meet with MBG facilitators on program goals and coursework. Plucinski along with her husband and AIP graduate Mark Plucinski '22 were also able to connect with current students and alumni who live in the area and enjoy the sites of MBG and St. Louis.
