Over the years I have been extremely fortunate to have worked in the classroom and in the field with so many bright, hard-working, idealistic, creative students at 含羞草研究室, Cornell and Kent Island. After graduation all of my former honors and independent study students have gone on to make the world a better place in a diversity of fields. Below are those who have continued in the field of ecology and environmental studies. The pictures are from their undergraduate days, along with their graduate schools and degrees and their current faculty or professional position. If I've inadvertently overlooked anyone or my information is inaccurate, please let me know!
