African Wildlife

I had the great pleasure of taking a faculty training trip to Kenya with Millersville University Global Studies.  Below is a link to a video showing the wildlife highlights. The goal of this trip was to prepare faculty members to become global citizens, bring international experiences to the classroom and prepare faculty to lead international expeditions.  I learned a lot and will definitely be expanding on my experiences with students.

ONLINE MILLERSVILLE ANIMAL MUSEUM DATABASE

The Millersville Animal Museum collection database is now online. The goal of the Millersville Animal Museum Database is to provide a catalog of all vertebrate (i.e., bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian) specimens found within the Millersville Animal Museum collection.  I want to acknowledge the following undergraduate students for making this webpage possible: Gabrielle Berry, Austin Harrison and especially Rochelle Jones and Kyle Thomas for developing the code for this webpage.  I also want to thank William Gausmann from the Millersville IT department for making this site live.  The database is still a work in progress, thus some miss-spellings are found.  We are currently working on this.  Please click on the link below to search through the Millersville Animal Museum Database.
