Huge congratulations to Domonique Hill for successfully defending her Master’s thesis! 🎓🦅

Domonique’s research, "Using Novel Monitoring Tools to Examine Demographic Patterns in a Re-introduced Red Cockaded (Leuconotopicus borealis) Woodpecker Population," uses PIT tags to track these threatened birds in South Carolina. Her work provides vital data on how they respond to conservation, helping keep our Southeastern native species thriving. 🌲🔭

Beyond her research, Domonique has been a pillar of the UWG Biology Program as a teaching assistant. We are so proud to see your hard work pay off! 👏
