Senior project:

The Leadership Role of Matriarchs in Elephant Cow/Calf Groups in the Elephant Population of Tsavo

Considerations for prospective students:

I had always wanted to go to Kenya, and COA’s internship requirement provided me with a reason to go. I was able to meet with well-known elephant researchers about my own research. The connections made outside of the classroom are very valuable for the future. Anything that interests you is possible at COA if you have the drive to follow through.
