University Activities
I am an active participant in the University’s Student Exchange Program between the states of Maryland and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This effort is part of the Partners of the Americas Program. In alternate years, 10-12 University of Maryland students, along with one or two faculty members, travel to Brazil for about two weeks to gain field experience in ecology and natural resources management in their “partner” state. And every other year, a like number of students and faculty from Rio de Janeiro travel to the University of Maryland for similar experience.
I serve as faculty advisor and mentor to the Gemstone team “Saving Testudo,” University of Maryland. The Gemstone Program is a unique multidisciplinary four-year research program for selected undergraduate honors students of all majors. Under guidance of faculty mentors and Gemstone staff, teams of students design, direct and conduct significant research exploring the interdependence of science and technology with society. In the fourth year each team of students presents its project in the form of a thesis to leaders in the field, and the students complete the program with a citation and a tangible sense of accomplishment.
I serve as academic advisor to undergraduate students in the Wildlife Ecology and Management concentration area of the Environmental Science and Policy Program.
I organized and hosted two Project Wild workshops held at the University of Maryland (April 2004 and March 2006). Project Wild is an environmental education program of the Council for Environmental Education designed for K-12. University of Maryland students completing the workshop become certified to teach Project Wild.
