Bennington, Cynthia C - Stetson University

个人简介

Cindy Bennington has conducted ecological research in Alaska, West Virginia, New Jersey and Florida. At Stetson, she teaches ecological and botanical courses and actively engages students in research on the ecology of arctic and temperate plant species. She also involves Stetson students in environmental service-learning projects both on and off campus. Currently, she and Dr. Karen Cole, the director of the Gillespie Museum, are leading an effort to plant trees and shrubs in an area adjacent to the museum, with the goal of establishing a "Teaching Landscape" that recreates a small portion of the longleaf pine ecosystem that historically dominated the sandhills of central Florida. Postdoctoral Associate, Princeton University, 1994-1996 Ph.D., West Virginia University, 1994 M.S., West Virginia University, 1990 B.S., West Virginia University, 1984
