Hello,
Our co-founders/co-directors are retiring after 30 years! At the start of his Miami University career in the early 1990s, Dr. Chris Myers began teaching tropical ecology courses in Costa Rica. Within the next few years, he, Lynne Born Myers, and a group of interdisciplinary studies professors had written a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation. And with the success of that grant, Project Dragonfly was born.
We hope you enjoy the digital story, podcast, and visuals below as they follow Chris and Lynne's journey from undergraduate students in Miami University's Western College Program to the early days of Dragonfly magazine to today, as the largest international transformative education initiative in the world dedicated to community-driven ecological and social change.
.
Happy retirement, Chris and Lynne! Congratulations on your amazing journey. We’re all incredibly grateful for the mark you left on us. As you retire, we wish you nothing but the best — that’s what you've always given. Here's to your next adventure!
On behalf of the Dragonfly Team,
Mary Jo & Jamie
Mary Jo Lahrmann, Senior Program Assistant
Jamie Bercaw Anzano, Director of Communications
