Global Field Program (GFP) graduate Susan Dorsey '19 of Baltimore, Maryland, has completed a number of deliverables for her Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship, including free digital interactives (maps, media, and education activities) for Junior Wildlife Rangeraudiences, which are now available online:

The Falkland Islands: https://juniorwildliferanger.org/discover/falklandislands

South Georgia: https://www.juniorwildliferanger.org/discover/southgeorgia

Antarctica: https://www.juniorwildliferanger.org/discover/antarctica

Dorsey was also published in the Journal of Research in STEM Education. Her article titled "Sciencing Out, an informal STEM education program in Madagascar: A case-study," describes the program’s unique educational components and evaluation data, measuring the impact of student engagement with STEM topics. "The results demonstrate that out-of-school, field-based experiences that connect students to local experts and biodiversity topics are important for increasing access to STEM knowledge and careers."

As a student in Miami's biology department, Dorsey earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology through Project Dragonfly's GFP while working as an artist and educator.
