On Dragonfly’s Wings

Chris and Lynne Born Myers — Miami Mergers from the Class of 1983 — met in an Interdisciplinary Studies class in the Western College Program. They married a few years later in Kumler Chapel on Western campus.

And together, as co-founders and co-directors, they built Project Dragonfly.

Launched in 1994, Project Dragonfly has brought together a community of people working to ignite ecological and social change and support conservation and sustainability. It has reached millions of people through global coursework and degree programs, public exhibits, and learning media.

Based at Miami, the transformative education initiative with master’s degree programs in Biology offers an unparalleled experiential learning experience in the U.S. and around the world.

Now the couple has embarked on a new adventure together — retirement.
