OXFORD, Ohio -- Crystal Lake resident Jack Bragg graduated with a Master of Arts in Zoology from Miami University December 13, 2013, as a member of the most recent class of graduates from the Advanced Inquiry Program.

The Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP), co-offered by Miami University's Project Dragonfly, Chicago Zoological Society-Brookfield Zoo and seven other U.S. zoos, is a groundbreaking graduate degree focused on inquiry-driven learning and social change. 

Through work on the web and at the zoo, AIP master's students use inquiry not only as a tool for integrated learning but also as a powerful agent for student achievement, public engagement and ecological stewardship.
