Congratulations "Dr. Kit".....one of our own.....

Broad Channel resident Kit Schnaars-Uvino, Department of Vertebrate Biology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024 USA. Kit has increasingly taken over the restoration ecology program on the Cape Churchill Peninsula. She is trying to determine recovery dynamics in severely degraded habitat. She also oversees the paperwork and basic logistics of the Hudson Bay Project snow goose banding program.

This past Wednesday, one of our neighbors, Kathleen (Kit) Schnaars-Uvino, successfully defended her  doctorate dissertation as part of her studies at The Graduate School and University Center, The City University of New York, Ph.D. Program in Biology.

Kit's defense of her research and findings took place at the American Museum of Natural History, Ornithology classroom – 79thSt and Central Park West.

Several of her friends from W12th Road attended in support.

In addition to the hundreds of hours spent in developing her dissertation and conducting research in the wilds of Alaska Kit also finds time to volunteer her services with the Prince-Wynn Post 260 V.F.W Ladies Auxiliary here in Broad Channel.

Kit's long years of study and research to attain her doctorate and her continual service to our community via the V.F.W. is an achievement that our entire community should be proud of.

Congratulations Dr. Kit!
