WORCESTER, Mass. — Madison Michaud, of Vassalboro, was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense, hands-on research through the Worcester Polytechnic Institute project center in New Zealand.

The project was titled Designing an FSC Campaign for Wellington Zoo. In their project summary, the students wrote, “Our project evaluated community perceptions of FSC and designed components for the campaign. To accomplish this, we conducted consumer surveys, administered semi-structured interviews, and reviewed past conservation campaigns,” according to a news release from the institute.

Michaud is a junior majoring in biomedical engineering at WPI.
