2019 Government Relations Network Alternative Spring Break Advocacy and Leadership Conference<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over spring break, 65 Miami University students and Miami University\u2019s President will participate in the Government Relations Network Alternative Spring Break Advocacy and Leadership Conference. \u00a0During the Conference, students will meet with members of the Ohio Congressional Delegation and members of the Ohio General Assembly. In these meetings, students will advocate for higher education and Miami University by sharing their own Miami experiences with members and staff. \u00a0Students will present to members and staff undergraduate research and experiential learning opportunities that they have engaged in at two poster sessions, one on Capitol Hill and the other at the Ohio Statehouse. Students will also hear from state and federal policymakers on leadership, citizenship, and advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experiential Learning<\/strong>: As a research assistant for the Geography department, I wrote and
\nadministered surveys via mail and pick-up drop-off methods to residents of Butler
\nCounty living on exurban properties. We aimed to measure their thoughts on
\ndifferent pollinator-friendly plant species and lawn management practices. Using
\nGIS data collection, we also measure the area of land homeowners were willing
\nto convert to pollinator habitat should free seed be provided. This research is
\nsoon to be published and will be presented at the US-IALE conference in Fort
\nCollins, Colorado this April.<\/p>\n
